Gedas Bertasius is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. His research focuses on video understanding and multimodal AI, particularly on systems that can perceive, reason about, and act on behavior observed in video. He received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Pennsylvania and was a postdoctoral researcher at Facebook AI Research before joining UNC. He is the recipient of the NSF CAREER Award, four Sony Research Awards, two Meta Research Awards, and the Egocentric Vision Distinguished Paper Award. He was also a CVPR Best Paper Award finalist. Before turning to AI research, he played professional basketball in Lithuania, an experience that still shapes his research on understanding strategic behavior in video.
