Together with our brilliant graduate researcher Ziyi Wu and our fantastic undergrad, Brayden Zhang, we had a wonderful time at #ICCV2025!

Thrilled to share the work that our lab will present at
@cvprconference.bsky.social. Check out the papers and meet @kai-he.bsky.social, @yashkant.bsky.social, @dazitu616.bsky.social, and Toshiya Yura in Nashville at their poster sessions!

The hat looks great, and our jobs are safe: if solving robotics doesn't work out, we can still pursue a career in fashion! 🧢👒🎩 I hope @dieworkwear.bsky.social would agree. 2/2

In Germany, there is a tradition of creating funny hats for doctoral graduates. 🎓 @cvoelcker.bsky.social brought this tradition to my group and, together with Umangi Jain, spearheaded the construction of a masterpiece for our first PhD graduate, @ashmrz.bsky.social. 1/2

Thank you, Jonathan Kelly, for being a fantastic co-advisor. Thank you also to the entire thesis and final exam committee consisting of @davelindell.bsky.social, Ben Liang, Steven Waslander, and our external member, Katerina Fragkiadaki! 4/4

Ashkan has done some of the pioneering work on scene editing of 3d representations for novel view synthesis. While my motivation for this work was mainly for robotics 🦾, it has applications far beyond this domain. 2/4

Today is one of the most exciting days of my academic career: my first PhD student graduated. 🎉 Huge congrats, @ashmrz.bsky.social! 🥂 I am grateful for the opportunity to have worked with you and could not have wished for a better start. 🚀 1/4

Great meeting @sramamoorthy.bsky.social and David Richardson from @edinburgh-uni.bsky.social

Perfect time to catch up on some missed-out reading.

A rare sighting of @csprofkgd.bsky.social, showing his students some cool @vscode.dev productivity hacks.

Ending the #RSS AC meeting on a high note with @mgb45.bsky.social, Rudolf Lioutikov, Jana Tumova, and Abhinav Valada. Can’t wait to see all of you again soon!

Excited to attend the RSS AC meeting for the first time. It’s held at #MIT this year. Great organization by @lucacarlone.bsky.social!

Spotted @csprofkgd.bsky.social trying out his (new?) "AR" glasses at @vectorinstitute.ai. Being a prof in Computer Vision is hard work.

When you board the plane, and find your
@uoft.bsky.social CS colleague sitting next to you. Great connecting with you for the first time in person, Bo Wang!

Our newest "robot" has arrived. 🎉

The global transformer shortage is a very serious issue. Please don't be wasteful! To do our part, the new
@vectorinstitute.ai policy is to use at most 3 heads per multi-head attention layer.

Ending #NeurIPS2024 on a high note. Bumped into Ted Chiang in a coffee shop.

I'm recruiting graduate students for Fall 2025 to work at the intersection of Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and Robotics.

If you are interested in building a controllable organic simulation engine to enable safe robot learning, consider applying to UofT's CS PhD program. 1/n
