Mohit Goyal

I am currently a Senior Software Engineer at Google, working on AR technology. My focus is on bringing Gemini to edge compute devices, specifically headsets and glasses.

Previously, I completed my MS at UIUC, where I had the wonderful opportunity to collaborate with Prof. Saurabh Gupta, Prof. Idoia Ochoa, Prof. Ilan Shomorony, and Prof. Mikel Hernaez. I hold a bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering from IIT Delhi.

Research Interests & Experience

I am broadly interested in computer vision, data compression, and novel applications of deep learning. My current work leverages Gemini models to empower wearable AI with ego-centric vision, enabling agents to better understand and interact with the physical world. Specifically, I am leading the development of long-term memory and navigational capabilities on smart glasses. Previously, I was the Comfort Quality Lead at Google AR, where I designed and led evaluation frameworks to optimize user comfort and video see-through quality for head-mounted displays, including the first Android XR headset - Samsung Galaxy XR.
