He earned his PhD at UC Berkeley in 2019 advised by Prof. Trevor Darrell. While there he was the lead developer of the Caffe open-source deep learning framework from version 0.1 to 1.0. Before the PhD, he earned dual degrees in computer science (artificial intelligence concentration) and psychology at UMass Amherst advised by Erik Learned-Miller. Following the PhD, he worked in industry as a research scientist for five years at Google DeepMind and Adobe across Cambridge (MA), London (UK), and San Francisco (CA). In 2025 he came to Canada and returned to academia. His research focuses on visual recognition and adaptation: how to identify and locate useful information in image data and then update when the data changes. The purpose of his work is to equip machine learning models and the scientific community to look twice, keep updating, and never stop learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"research-interests\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Research Interests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Deep learning<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Computer vision<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adaptation for robustness<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Adaptive computation for efficiency<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remote sensing for science and sustainability<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":501,"featured_media":6276,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"cu_people_first_name":"Evan","cu_people_last_name":"Shelhamer","cu_people_initials":"ES","footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"cu_people_type":[14],"cu_people_expertise":[],"class_list":["post-6275","cu_people","type-cu_people","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","cu_people_type-adjunct"],"acf":{"cu_people_job_title":"Adjunct Research Professor","cu_people_degree":"Ph.D.","cu_building":"","cu_people_office_num":"","cu_people_pronoun":"","cu_people_designation":"Dr.","cu_people_email":"shelhamer@cs.ubc.ca","cu_people_phone":"","cu_people_phone_ext":"","cu_people_linkedin":"","cu_people_bluesky":"","cu_people_twitter":"","cu_people_instagram":"","cu_people_facebook":"","cu_people_website":"https:\/\/imaginarynumber.net\/research\/","cu_people_orcid":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/6275","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cu_people"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/501"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/6275\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6280,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people\/6275\/revisions\/6280"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6276"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6275"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"cu_people_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_type?post=6275"},{"taxonomy":"cu_people_expertise","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/sce\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cu_people_expertise?post=6275"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
