Kevin McFall, Ph.D., is a Principal Instructor for the NVIDIA Deep Learning Institute. He is trained as a mechanical engineer with degrees from Virginia Tech, MIT, and Georgia Tech. A research position early in his career in a Computer Engineering Department inspired him to shift focus to AI. He since built an academic career exploring topics in deep learning, computer vision, and robotics. Now at NVIDIA, he leverages this background to deliver DLI workshops and support DLI instructors across a wide spectrum of deep learning technologies including generative AI and large language models.
