Research Scientist @ Adobe
My research area lies in computer graphics and spans to computer vision and artificial intelligence. I’m interested in developing intelligent systems for automatic 3D creation and modeling.
I earned my PhD title at ETH’s Interactive Geometry Lab under the mentorship of Professor Olga Sorkine-Hornung. Then I spent 2 years as a postdoc at Stanford University’s Computational Imaging Lab working with Professor Gordon Wetzstein.
My contributions to the field have been recognized through prestigious accolades, including being named an Apple AI/ML fellow and receiving the highly competitive Swiss Postdoc.Mobility fellowship. Moreover, I am humbled to have been awarded the esteemed ETH Medal in 2022 for my exceptional doctoral thesis and honored with the Best PhD Thesis Award by Eurographics in 2023.
