Hey! I’m Justin Norman.
I’m a fourth year PhD candidate at UC Berkeley, where I am advised by Hany Farid. I am interested in research in computer vision, computational photography, generative AI and machine learning engineering. I am a recipient of the Marcus Foster Fellowship.
My PhD projects to this point have centered around evaluating and improving the robustness of traditional and generative computer vision systems, in applied AI use cases.
My last role in industry was VP, Data Science, Analytics and Data Products at Yelp. Previously, I was the Director of Research and Data Science at Cloudera Fast Forward Labs, Head of Applied Machine Learning at Fitbit, the Global Head of Cisco’s Enterprise Data Science Office and a Big Data Systems Engineer with Booz Allen Hamilton. In another life, I served as a Marine Corps Officer, with a focus in Systems Analytics and Intelligence.
