John Lambert
Senior Research Scientist at Waymo
Bio I am currently a senior research scientist at Waymo (formerly the Google self-driving car project). Previously, I spent several years at Argo AI, Intel Labs, and Zillow Research. I received my Ph.D. from Georgia Tech, where I was advised by James Hays and Frank Dellaert. Prior to joining Georgia Tech, I completed my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Computer Science at Stanford University, specializing in artificial intelligence.
Research My interests revolve around generative modeling and machine learning for multimodal reasoning, robotics and autonomy. Past and present research areas have included image understanding, 3D perception, SLAM, and simulation. I’ve been involved in research for self-driving vehicle development since 2017.
