Jonathan Ventura is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. His research focus is computer vision: making computers “see.” He is especially interested in using computer vision to understand the 3D world around the camera, with applications in augmented and virtual reality. He also loves applying the “magic” of deep learning to interesting image processing problems in the sciences, such as geography and biology. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2012.
