# Austin Myers > Perception @ Agility Robotics Location: San Francisco Bay Area, United States Profile: https://flows.cv/austinmyers I am a Staff Software Engineer at Agility Robotics working on perception for humanoid robots. Previously, I was as a Research Engineer at Google DeepMind in San Francisco, working on video and language understanding using large multimodal models. At Google I worked on large multimodal models for AI-generated video in YouTube, video and language representation learning, capturing special video moments for Google Photos, and open sourcing state-of-the-art object detection methods. Previously, I worked at Waymo on perception for self-driving cars. I did my Ph.D. at the University of Maryland, where I worked on understanding the functionality of object parts to enable tool-use for everyday robots. I’m interested in computer vision, deep learning, generative models, large multimodal models, and robotics. ## Work Experience ### Staff Software Engineer @ Agility Robotics Jan 2025 – Present ### Research Engineer @ Google DeepMind Jan 2024 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco, California, United States ### Research Engineer @ Google Jan 2019 – Jan 2024 | San Francisco Bay Area ### Software Engineer @ Waymo Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 | Mountain View, California, United States ## Education ### Doctor of Philosophy - PhD in Computer Science University of Maryland ## Contact & Social - LinkedIn: https://linkedin.com/in/austin-myers-b28544169 --- Source: https://flows.cv/austinmyers JSON Resume: https://flows.cv/austinmyers/resume.json Last updated: 2026-04-01
