Early 2019, he joined TuSimple to develop au- tonomous driving systems. From 2012 to 2019, he worked at BAE Systems (Boston, MA, USA), on DARPA, AFRL and other US government agencies advanced research projects as principal investigator (PI), team lead and research scientist. Before joining BAE Systems, Riad was at Tobii-Dynavox (Pittsburgh, PA, USA) and Delphi Automo- tive Systems (Kokomo, IN, USA) working on Assistive Technologies and Active Safety Systems. He joined Seth Teller's team at MIT as a collaborating Researcher to work on the DARPA Robotics Challenge (2012-2015). Dr. Riad Hammoud served as guest editor of several special issues of top journals in computer vision including CVIU and IJCV. He authored several edited book including the Springer book on Augmented Vision Perception in Infrared. Since 2004, he has been organizing and chairing a workshop series in conjunction with the IEEE CVPR on Perception Beyond the Visible Spectrum (PBVS). He also serves as the general chair of SPIE Automatic Target Recognition conference (2018-2021). See less
