Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolMatthias Grundmann is a Research Director at Google Research with 12 years of experience building on-device, real-time computational video and GPU inference systems for mobile platforms. He leads work on perception and augmentation technologies—tracking, face perception, stabilization, segmentation, cinemagraphs and AR—that have shipped in products like YouTube Stories, Motion Stills, Google Photos, and Pixel features. A PhD-trained computer scientist, he bridges deep research and production engineering, turning advanced algorithms into optimized, low-latency mobile implementations. He also contributes to foundational open-source computer vision tooling, having fixed race conditions and performance issues in the widely used OpenCV library. Based in San Jose, he combines hands-on systems optimization with product-facing integrations, often solving subtle multi-threading and performance problems that are invisible to end users.
