 Ruth Rosenholtz joined NVIDIA Research in 2023, after a year as visiting scientist. Her research interests include behavioral experiments and computational modeling of human visual perception, and its applications. Particular vision topics include peripheral vision, visual attention, perceptual organization, material perception, and shape/depth perception. Applications include image quality, HCI, and vision for driving.

Ruth received her Ph.D. (1994) and MS (1991) in EECS from the University of California, Berkeley, and her BS (1988) in Engineering from Swarthmore College. Previously she was research faculty at MIT's Department of Brain & Cognitive Sciences and CSAIL and has worked at Xerox PARC and NASA Ames.
