Luca Verre named in the Photonics100 list
Nov 21, 2022 – We are pleased to share that Luca Verre, CEO and co-founder of Prophesee, was named to the Photonics100 list from Electro Optics.
“Our aim is to recognise those individuals at the forefront of R&D; those pushing the boundaries in photonics and, of course, what it can do for the wider world” – Mark Elliott, Europa Science.
The first annual Photonics100 recognizes the innovators, the boundary-pushers, the disruptors, the out-of-the-box thinkers, and the R&D ‘rock stars’ who have had the biggest impact on their fields in the past 12 months.
In his profile for Electro Optics, Luca discusses starting Prophesee in 2014 and the company’s journey to the EU’s most well-funded fabless semiconductor start-up. He reflects on the experience of founding a start-up and how these experiences have forced him to learn quickly and get exposure to many new technologies.
His advice for those embarking on a career in computer vision is to “go unconventional” and to “play at the edge of innovation and, if you are lucky enough, define new edges”.
