William Guimont-Martin is currently a Ph.D candidate in Norlab laboratory supervised by Prof. Philippe Giguère at Université Laval, and he is a member of Norlab. He graduated from Université Laval with bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, Distinction Profile, in 2021. During his undergraduate years, William gained valuable research experience through internships in various settings. Notably, he contributed to research on ultrasound data analysis and computer vision during an internship at Olympus NDT Canada. His work at Bentley Systems even led to a US patent, a testament to his ability to innovate. In the summer of 2020, William completed a research internship in Norlab, where he embarked on a journey to explore the application of deep learning to 3D point clouds. This pivotal experience ignited his passion for this emerging field, shaping the trajectory of his academic pursuits. William’s main research interests include deep learning, point clouds, LiDAR and mobile robotics.
