Naji Khosravan
Computer Science Ph.D.
Senior Applied Science Manager (AI/ML)
ABOUT ME
I'm passionate about developing cutting-edge Computer Vision and Machine Learning technologies, turning research into real-world impact.
Currently, I lead part of the Adobe’s Firefly VideoGen Org, advancing and scaling video generation and multimodal foundation models to power the next generation of creative tools. Previously, I was a Senior Applied Science Manager at Zillow Group's AI Org, where I led the development of 3D and multimodal CV/ML models to elevate Zillow’s product experiences.
​
I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the Center for Research in Computer Vision (CRCV) at the University of Central Florida (UCF), specializing in Computer Vision and Deep Learning. My research focused on Human-Centered AI for analyzing volumetric medical scans using smart glasses. During my Ph.D. I had a couple of internships at Netflix Research working on Attention based methods for video and an internship at Sighthound, a startup company where I worked on representation learning for multi-object tracking.
My research interests lie at the intersection of Generative Models, Multimodal Learning and 3D Computer Vision. I focus on enabling AI systems to develop a deeper understanding of the physical world, through generative/world modeling or general-purpose multimodal and multitask visual intelligence.
