Douglas Ross (1954) Career Development Professor of Software Technology, Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science

Kaiming He is the Douglas Ross (1954) Career Development Professor of Software Technology in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at MIT. Prior to joining MIT, he was a research scientist at Facebook AI Research (FAIR). His research spans a range of topics in computer vision and deep learning, and through the lens of computer vision and building learning representation models, he works to develop generalizable and widely applicable methods. His work also includes deep residual networks, deep learning models, visual object detection and segmentation, and visual self-supervised learning. Prior to his current role, he also spent time in industry as a researcher at Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA). He received a PhD from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and a BS from Tsinghua University.
