Career

Felzenszwalb studied computer science at Cornell University, receiving his B.S. in 1999.[1] There, he began researching computer vision and artificial intelligence with Daniel P. Huttenlocher.[2] He earned his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2001 and 2003, respectively.[1]

Felzenszwalb joined the University of Chicago as an assistant professor in 2004 and was made associate professor in 2008. He joined Brown University as an associate professor in 2011 and became a full professor in 2016.[3]

In 2010 Felzenszwalb was awarded the Longuet-Higgins Prize for his work in the field of computer vision.[1] In 2013, he was awarded the Grace Murray Hopper Award by the Association for Computing Machinery for his contributions to the problem of object recognition in pictures and video.[2][4] In 2014, he was awarded the Edward J. McCluskey Technical Achievement Award by the IEEE for his work with object recognition with deformable models.[5] In 2018, Felzenszwalb received the Longuet-Higgins Prize for fundamental contributions to computer vision a second time. This prize was first awarded in 2005, and Felzenszwalb is among a select group of repeat winners.[6]
