They haven&#8217;t filled the role yet, aiming do do so by July, partially I think because it&#8217;s not clear on a casual read what the job is. It&#8217;s a lot more interesting the way he describes it. I thought at first it as primarily a graphics design job, but it turns out to be more of a programming\/media\/forensics job.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Basically, his new role, since 2019, is to figure out interesting new ways to cover stories for the Times using a variety of technologies, and the team is growing. They do things like generate 3D models from hand-drawn maps\u00a0+ AI in order to generate forensic illustrations for news stories; figure out how to generate high-res models from sports video footage for deep analysis stories; and so forth. There&#8217;s some work with drones and VR\/AR which I didn&#8217;t follow entirely, but which sounded like interesting uses of VR as well.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">If you know of anyone looking for work in those areas, send them on to Karthik, or send them this posting. Now that graduation&#8217;s over I imagine a few folks are starting to look.<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">\n<div class=\"gmail_quote\">\n<div class=\"gmail_attr\" dir=\"ltr\">&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;- Forwarded message &#8212;&#8212;&#8212;<br \/>\nFrom:\u00a0<strong class=\"gmail_sendername\" dir=\"auto\">Karthik Patanjali<\/strong>\u00a0<span dir=\"auto\">&lt;<a href=\"mailto:karthik.patanjali@nytimes.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">karthik.patanjali@nytimes.com<\/a><wbr \/>&gt;<\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"gmail_attr\" dir=\"ltr\"><span dir=\"auto\">\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\">Hi Midori,<\/p>\n<div>hope you&#8217;re doing well.
