After a brief tenure as a Fellow of the NEC Research Institute (now NEC-Labs America) in 普林斯顿, he joined 纽约大学 (NYU) in 2003, where he is Silver Professor of Computer Science Neural Science at the 科朗数学研究所 and the Center for Neural Science. He is also a professor at the 纽约大学坦登工程学院.[8][9] At NYU, he has worked primarily on Energy-Based Models for supervised and unsupervised learning,[10] feature learning for object recognition in 计算机视觉,[11] and mobile robotics.[12]
在2013年,他和约书亚·本希奥一起创建了International Conference on Learning Representations, which adopted a post-publication open review process he previously advocated on his website. He was the chair and organizer of the "Learning Workshop" held every year between 1986 and 2012 in Snowbird, Utah. He is a member of the Science Advisory Board of the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics[15] at 加州大学洛杉矶分校, and has been on the advisory board of a number of companies, including MuseAmi, KXEN Inc., and Vidient Systems.[16] He is the Co-Director of the Neural Computation & Adaptive Perception research program of CIFAR[17]
在2016年,他在巴黎法兰西公学院的"Chaire Annuelle Informatique et Sciences Numériques"做访问教授。His "leçon inaugurale" (inaugural lecture) has been an important event in 2016 Paris intellectual life.
