Snap Inc. combines academia and industry by hiring academic researchers and doing application-driven research. In this talk I will give examples of research projects from my corporate research experience. My goal is to showcase the value of – and hurdles for – working both with and within corporate research labs, and how some of these values and hurdles are different from working in traditional academia.
