Oscar is co-founder of Nyckel: the lightning-fast ML platform for everyone. He is also the Senior Director of Machine Learning at Motional, where he works on ML products, research, platform for their fleet of autonomous vehicles. Before that, he was a postdoctoral scholar in Trevor Darrell's lab at Berkeley AI Research, where he worked on automated quantification of scientific image data using deep learning.

Previously, he was the lead developer at Hövding, where he created the algorithmic framework and hardware design for their invisible bicycle helmet. He has also worked on automated dietary logging systems for consumer applications and focusing algorithms for image-based cell analysis.

Oscar also manages and develops CoralNet, deploying deep convolutional neural networks to help coral reef ecologists mine image data.

Oscar got his Ph.D. in computer vision and machine learning at UCSD under David Kriegman and Serge Belongie, and his M.S. in engineering physics at Lund University under Kalle Åström.
