Kashyap Chitta


I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at the NVIDIA Autonomous Vehicle Research Group working from Tübingen, Germany. My research focuses on simulation-based training and evaluation of Physical AI systems.

Bio: Kashyap did a bachelor's degree in electronics at the RV College of Engineering, India. He then moved to the US in 2017 to obtain his Master's degree in computer vision from Carnegie Mellon University, where he was advised by Prof. Martial Hebert. During this time, he was also an intern at the NVIDIA Autonomous Vehicles Applied Research Group working with Dr. Jose M. Alvarez. From 2019, he was a PhD student in the Autonomous Vision Group at the University of Tübingen, Germany, supervised by Prof. Andreas Geiger. He was selected for the doctoral consortium at ICCV 2023, as a 2023 RSS pioneer, and an outstanding reviewer for CVPR, ICCV, ECCV, and NeurIPS. He has also won multiple autonomous driving challenge awards [nuPlan 2023] [CARLA 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024] [Waymo 2025] [HUGSIM 2025].
