Alexei (Alyosha) Efros joined UC Berkeley in 2013 as associate professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. Prior to that, he was nine years on the faculty of Carnegie Mellon University, and has also been affiliated with École Normale Supérieure/INRIA and University of Oxford. His research is in the area of computer vision and computer graphics, especially at the intersection of the two. He is particularly interested in using data-driven techniques to tackle problems which are very hard to model parametrically but where large quantities of data are readily available. Alyosha received his PhD in 2003 from UC Berkeley. He is a recipient of CVPR Best Paper Award (2006), NSF CAREER award (2006), Sloan Fellowship (2008), Guggenheim Fellowship (2008), Okawa Grant (2008), Finmeccanica Career Development Chair (2010), SIGGRAPH Significant New Researcher Award (2010), ECCV Best Paper Honorable Mention (2010), and the Helmholtz Test-of-Time Prize (2013).
Originally from St. Petersburg, Russia, Alexei (Alyosha) Efros earned his Ph.D. at U.C. Berkeley in 2004 under Jitendra Malik, and spent one year as a post-doctoral fellow in Oxford, England. Since then he has been an Assistant Professor at The Robotics Institute and Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University. He served as a Guggenheim Fellow at the École Normale Supérieure de Paris/INRIA in 2009.
