Zan Gojcic is a Director of Research at NVIDIA with eight years of experience translating academic rigor into impactful machine learning solutions for point cloud processing. Trained at ETH Zürich (PhD) and a former visiting researcher at Stanford, he has advanced research in registration, feature extraction, scene flow, and domain adaptation—particularly for autonomous driving. At NVIDIA he progressed rapidly from research scientist to director, leading teams that bridge weakly/unsupervised learning research with production-relevant systems. His background in geomatics and hands-on work with GNSS and geodetic systems gives him a practical edge in spatial reasoning and real-world sensor challenges. Colleagues know him for turning complex 3D problems into elegant learning-based approaches that scale beyond lab settings.
