Felix Heide is a German computer scientist working primarily in the fields of computational imaging, computer vision, computer graphics and deep learning. He is the head of the Princeton University Computational Imaging Lab and the Chief Technology Officer at Algolux.[1]
Education
Heide received his Msc (Computer Science) from the University of Siegen. In 2016, he received his PhD from the University of British Columbia under the advisement of Professor Wolfgang Heidrich. His doctoral dissertation won the Alain Fournier PhD Dissertation Award for the best Canadian PhD dissertation in computer graphics and the ACM SIGGRAPH outstanding doctoral dissertation award for the best PhD dissertation in computer graphics and interactive techniques. He then attended Stanford University as a postdoctoral scholar.[2][3]
Career
In 2015, Felix Heide co-founded Algolux, a Montreal-based artificial intelligence company developing perception technology. He is now the company Chief Technology Officer.[4]
Research
Heide has co-authored close to 50 publications and has received over 2,600 citations.[5] In 2020, six of his papers were accepted to the Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition – including three orals. One of them, “Seeing Around Street Corners: Non-Line-of-Sight Detection and Tracking In-the-Wild Using Doppler Radar” was picked up by numerous publications.[6]
Additionally, he has filed for 16 patents, and 7 of them have been granted as of yet. The last one, “Method and apparatus for joint image processing and perception” was granted in July 2020.[7]
