Hi! I'm Thomas Robert

I am currently the R&D Team Lead & Deep Learning Research Engineer at Heuritech R&D Lab.

I defended my PhD on Deep Learning for Computer Vision from Sorbonne University (MLIA / LIP6) in October 2019.

A few things about me...

I love Computer Science

I started coding 11 years ago through web development and keep working on it has a hobby

I love Machine Learning

It's an incredible tool to solve complex problems

I love challenges

I am looking for innovative research & development projects using deep learning

I love learning and sharing

That's why I did a PhD and taught at my university
