Theo Gevers

Theo Gevers is a Professor of Computer Vision at the University of Amsterdam, leading the Computer Vision Research Group and co-directing public-private labs Atlas Lab (UvA-TomTom) and Delta Lab (UvA-Bosch). He co-founded successful spin-offs 3DUniversum and Sightcorp (sold in 2022).

His research focuses on Computer Vision, Deep Learning, and 3D Reconstruction, with societal impacts in deepfake detection through software like DeepFact and grief therapy applications. He has secured major grants including VICI (1.5 MEuro), NWO grants (1.3 MEuro, 1.1 MEuro), and Eurostars Programme (1 MEuro).

His 15 most recent articles emphasize 3D scene reconstruction using Gaussian splatting, intrinsic image decomposition, and LiDAR-based segmentation, with applications in urban planning, autonomous vehicles, and diffusion models.

Scientific Awards:

• VICI Laureate (NWO)
• Blue Tulip Awards for DeepFact Software

Advising & Grants: Supervised 20+ PhD students, secured 10+ major grants totaling >5 MEuro, including FlexCRAFT and Efficient Deep Learning. Collaborated with TomTom, Bosch, Raydiant, and Eurostars Programme.

Labs & Teams: Director of Computer Vision Lab, co-director of Atlas Lab and Delta Lab. Leads teams like BBQ 2025, Delta Lab 2025, and 3DUniversum 2025 Product Team.
