Jitendra Malik

Jitendra Malik (* 1960 in Mathura , India ) is an Indian-American computer scientist who specializes in computer vision and computer graphics .

Malik studied electrical engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kapur with a bachelor's degree in 1980 and received his doctorate in 1985 with Thomas Binford at Stanford University (Interpreting Line Drawings of Curved Objects). In 1986 he became Assistant Professor, 1991 Associate Professor and 1996 Professor at the University of California, Berkeley . From 2004 to 2006 and 2016/17 he headed the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS). Since 2009 he has also been a professor of bioengineering and he is in the vision science and cognitive science groups at the university. He is an Arthur J. Chick Professor.

In 2015/16 he was a visiting researcher at Google and in 2007 he was a visiting researcher at Yahoo Research in Berkeley. He served on the board of directors of the Indian Institute of Technology in Bangalore and on the advisory board of Microsoft India.

He is known for various methods and algorithms in computer graphics and computer vision , such as anisotropic diffusion , normalized cuts, shape contexts and high dynamic range imaging (see HDRI generation from exposure series ).

In 2016 he received the ACM-AAAI Allen Newell Award . He is a member of the National Academy of Sciences (2015), the American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2013) and the National Academy of Engineering (2011) and a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) and the IEEE . In 2001 he was Miller Research Professor in Berkeley and in 1997 and 1998 he won the Longuet-Higgins Prize and twice the Helmholtz Prize . In 1989 he received a Presidential Young Investigator Award, in 2018 the IJCAI Award for Research Excellence and in 2019 the Computer Pioneer Award . He is one of the ISI Highly Cited Researchers in Engineering .
