Viveka Kulharia is a computer vision researcher and engineer with 11 years of experience and 8+ years focused on generative AI, currently tackling Video GenAI as a Member of Technical Staff in the Greater Seattle area. She has driven integration of diffusion models and GANs into perception stacks at Cruise, improving edge-case recall by over 30% through synthetic/real-to-real data pipelines, and has applied similar rigor to image search and weakly supervised segmentation projects at Huawei and Amazon Lab126. Her career blends deep research—PhD-level work from the University of Oxford and internships with top labs like Niantic and Microsoft—with hands-on production deployments and cross-team technical leadership. Notably, she repeatedly builds fast evaluation tooling and end-to-end data workflows that turn generative research into robust perception components for real-world systems.
