Raymond Fu named AAAI fellow for transforming AI research into real-world solutions at Northeastern
At Northeastern University, professor Raymond Fu leads the Synergetic Media Learning Lab, an AI research hub where he and his team analyze big data sets to solve real-world problems.
Through his work at the lab, Fu has been able to spin out several technology companies, including Giaran Inc., which uses machine learning to allow users to try on cosmetic products from the comfort of their home. The company was eventually sold to a multinational Japanese beauty company, Shiseido, in 2017.
Fu’s work was recently recognized by the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), which named him a 2025 fellow.
Fu was selected by AAAI for his “significant contributions to transformative technology innovation in computer vision, augmented human-machine interaction, and leadership in AI technology commercialization.”
“It’s a great honor for me,” says Fu, who has dual appointments in the College of Engineering and the Khoury College of Computer Sciences. “AAAI is the most prestigious association for artificial intelligence. Artificial intelligence is very popular right now. Being selected to be a fellow in this society raises a lot of attention in the research community.”
