Jonathan Ventura Email & Phone Number

Jonathan Ventura is an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Software Engineering at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo. His research focus is computer vision: making computers “see.” He is especially interested in geometric problems in vision such as 3D modeling and camera localization, as well as machine learning, image processing and medical image analysis. One major goal of his work has been to enable sophisticated and widely available mobile augmented reality experiences through advanced sensor technology.Dr. Ventura is a native of the central coast of California and earned his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2012. He received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science from UCSB, as well. Before joining Cal Poly, he was an assistant professor at University of Colorado Colorado Springs. He has also been a postdoctoral researcher with the Institute for Computer Graphics and Vision at Graz University of Technology in Austria, in collaboration with Qualcomm Research, and worked as a research intern at the Adobe Advanced Technologies Lab in San Jose, CA. He has presented his work at several top international conferences and journals, including IEEE CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, ACM SIGGRAPH, IEEE ISMAR, and IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. Joint work with his colleagues has twice been awarded the best paper prize from IEEE ISMAR, the premier international augmented reality conference.

Listed skills include Computer Vision, Augmented Reality, Computer Science, Algorithms, and 11 others.
