Selim Emir Can

I am a second-year masters student in the Electrical Engineering Department at Stanford University. I am currently working at the Stanford Physical and Spatial Intelligence Lab under Professor Gordon Wetzstein.

Previously, I completed my undergraduate studies in Electrical Engineering at the University of California, Los Angeles, where I worked with the Visual Machines Group (VMG) under Professor Achuta Kadambi and conducted microscopy research under Professor Aydogan Ozcan.

My research interests lie at the intersection of computer vision, imaging, and artificial intelligence. I am broadly interested in applications such as AI-assisted healthcare, robotics, remote sensing, and AR/VR technology.

More recently, I am interested in evaluating the spatial and physical reasoning capabilities of foundation models. I am also excited to explore multimodal ML representations in distributed, multisensory agent settings.
