Javad Amirian

I am a seasoned technology leader with a wealth of experience in electronics, artificial intelligence, and robotics. As the Co-Founder and CTO of Vive Robotics, I am responsible for delivering Vive Tennis, the autonomous ball-retriever robot. This exciting mission allows me to continually develop and improve my technical background in computer vision and deep learning, while also honing my soft skills including team building, investor, and customer engagement.

I recently completed my Ph.D. at INRIA research institute in 2021 and I also make contributions to DecorAR, a start-up focused on using AI and augmented reality for interior design applications. My passion is creating innovative solutions that have a positive impact on society, and I am always seeking new opportunities to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations.
