The opportunity to be at the frontier of embodied AI. From end-to-end agents to GAIA, the team is constantly pushing the boundaries of what AI can do in the physical world, and I'm excited to dive in across 3D scene understanding, neural scene representations, and world models.

I’m excited to share that I’ve joined the @wayve_ai Labs team in Vancouver as a Principal Scientist!

Super excited to announce that @taiyasaki has joined Wayve Labs! Andrea is a world-leader in 3D vision, and an all-round awesome person. He's already injecting enormous energy and ideas into our team, and I can't wait to see what he cooks up. Catch Andrea, @alexgkendall, Matt Brown, and others from @wayve_ai at @CVPR this week in Denver.

The other major draw was the people. I’ve known @Jamie_Shotton for over a decade so it's great to be working alongside him as well as all the amazing researchers here, many of whom have also been collaborators, friends, even friendly rivals over the years.
