Colleagues,

As you know, I am now full-time at Google in Mountain View (although still
affiliated with Stanford), where I lead a team that works on computational
photography.

We are expanding our group, and have openings for graduating students (prefer
PhD, but will consider MS) who are strong coders (including C or C++)
passionate about photography and video, and want to be part of designing and
implementing new experiences for users, especially on mobile or wearable
devices.  Ideal candidates would have strong background in one or more of the
following fields: computer vision, computer graphics, computational
photography, computational video, computer animation, visual effects, or
computer game development.  For the latter three fields, we would look for
people who also push pixels.

In keeping with our mission, we have an integrated team of researchers,
hardware engineers, and software engineers working on projects that will deploy
at scale (and change the world) within 1-3 years.  Other members of my team
include Sam Hasinoff (formerly of Toronto/MIT), Jon Barron (UC Berkeley),
Andrew Adams (Stanford/MIT), Jiawen Chen (MIT), Yael Pritch (Disney Research),
Florian Kainz (ILM), and Yun-Ta Tsai (NVIDIA).  At last count the team's
members have 4 Technical Academy Awards between them.  Although I cannot
divulge all the projects we are working on, I can say that we launched
burst-mode photography on Glass and Nexus 5 and 6 (see
http://googleresearch.blogspot.com/2014/10/hdr-low-light-and-high-dynamic-range.html).
In the coming year we will be focusing more on computational video,
multi-camera systems, structured-light scanning, virtual reality, and computer
vision and machine learning in the service of photography.  Our group
encourages publication; indeed, we have several papers in the pipeline.

Interested graduating students should send an email to me, levoy at google.com <mailto:levoy at google.com> ,
