Tanner Schmidt
I am currently a Research Scientist at Facebook Reality Labs Research (FRLR). I am most interested in research with robotics and computer vision applications. In particular I enjoy working at the intersection of 3D geometry and modern machine learning techniques, where one can leverage both large amounts of data and principles of geometry that have been known for millennia.
Before FRLR, I did my Ph.D. in Computer Science and Engineering at the University of Washington. At UW, I was a member of the Robotics and State Estimation Lab advised by Dieter Fox. Prior to that, I did my bachelor’s in both Computer Science and Electrical and Computer Engineering at Duke University.
