Senior🎓
Top SchoolYotam Erel is a Generative AI Engineer and PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering (AI) with nine years' experience bridging cutting-edge research and production embedded systems. Currently based in Japan and working at Sony, he focuses on video and 3D geometric deep learning from a Visual Computing & Applied Geometry lab background, with visiting research stints at Max Planck Institute and Osaka University. Prior roles in medical and automotive semiconductors gave him deep C++ RT and computer vision expertise for constrained embedded devices. He combines academic rigor with product-minded engineering—applying advanced geometry-aware models to real-world imaging problems—and has moved fluidly between industry R&D and academic research environments. An experienced cross-cultural collaborator, he brings both low-level systems discipline and generative-model creativity to multidisciplinary teams.
