Pashmina Cameron

Pashmina Cameron is a principal applied scientist working in Microsoft’s Applied Sciences Group (ASG).

While at Microsoft Research Cambridge, Pashmina worked on a number of projects including Project HSD, Project Silica, Generative Chemistry, and co-ran the MSR Cambridge AI Residency program for three years.

Before that, she led a computer vision R&D team (now part of MicroFocus) at Hewlett-Packard Enterprise where her research spanned areas such as SLAM, 3D reconstruction and 3D change detection, and augmented reality.  Pashmina also developed industrial computer-vision solutions for facial recognition, object detection and recognition, license-plate recognition, and intelligent scene analysis.  She also built commercial foreign-exchange software at Integral that is still widely used today.

Pashmina holds a Ph.D. in computer vision from the University of Cambridge on a Gates Cambridge Scholarship.

Her current interests include generative models for language understanding and computer vision, stochastic optimization algorithms, and code optimization.
