Instructors
- Aaron Bobick - Aaron Bobick, PhD, joined Washington University in St. Louis as Dean of the School of Engineering & Applied Science and the James M. McKelvey Professor July 1, 2015. Prior to Washington University, he was a professor and founding chair of the School of Interactive Computing at the Georgia Institute of Technology, where he was a member of the faculty since 1999. He has B.Sc. degrees from MIT in Mathematics (1981) and Computer Science (1981) and a Ph.D. from MIT in Cognitive Science (1987). He joined the MIT Media Laboratory faculty in 1992 where he was a pioneer in the area of action recognition by computer vision. In 1999 Prof. Bobick moved to Georgia Tech where he became the Director of the GVU Center, an internationally known research center in computer vision, graphics, ubiquitous computing, and HCI. In 2005 the School of Interactive Computing was created with Prof. Bobick serving as the founding Chair. Prof. Bobick is both an IEEE Fellow and an ACM Distinguished Scientist. He has served as a senior area chair for most international computer vision conferences including serving as Program Chair of IEEE Conference on Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition. He has also served on the advisory board or boards of directors of a variety of surveillance-focused computer vision and medical imaging technology companies.
- Irfan Essa - Irfan Essa is a Professor in the School of Interactive Computing (iC) and Associate Dean in the College of Computing (CoC), at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GA Tech), in Atlanta, Georgia, USA. Professor Essa works in the areas of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Computational Perception, Robotics and Computer Animation, Machine Learning, and Social Computing, with potential impact on Video Analysis and Production (e.g., Computational Photography & Video, Image-based Modeling and Rendering, etc.) Human Computer Interaction, Artificial Intelligence, Computational Behavioral/Social Sciences, and Computational Journalism research. He has published over 150 scholarly articles in leading journals and conference venues on these topics and several of his papers have also won best paper awards. He has been awarded the NSF CAREER and was elected to the grade of IEEE Fellow. He has held extended research consulting positions with Disney Research and Google Research and also was an Adjunct Faculty Member at Carnegie Mellon’s Robotics Institute. He joined GA Tech Faculty in 1996 after his earning his MS (1990), Ph.D. (1994), and holding research faculty position at the MIT Media Lab (1988-1996).

Le Georgia Institute of Technology, connu aussi sous le nom de Georgia Tech ou GT, est une université de recherche mixte publique, et située à Atlanta (Géorgie), aux États-Unis. Elle fait partie du réseau plus large du Système universitaire de Géorgie (en anglais, University System of Georgia). Georgia Tech possède des antennes à Savannah (Géorgie, États-Unis), Metz (France), Athlone (Irlande), Shanghai (Chine), et Singapour.
Georgia Tech a acquis sa réputation grâce à ses programmes d'ingénierie et d'informatique, ceux-ci figurant parmi les meilleurs du monde5,6. L'offre de formation est complétée par des programmes dans les domaines des sciences, de l'architecture, des sciences humaines et du management.
Platform
Udacity est une entreprise fondé par Sebastian Thrun, David Stavens, et Mike Sokolsky offrant cours en ligne ouvert et massif.
Selon Thrun, l'origine du nom Udacity vient de la volonté de l'entreprise d'être "audacieux pour vous, l'étudiant ". Bien que Udacity se concentrait à l'origine sur une offre de cours universitaires, la plateforme se concentre désormais plus sur de formations destinés aux professionnels.
