Computational Imaging Lab, Stanford

I’m a postdoc at the Computational Imaging Lab in Stanford University working with Professor Gordon Wetzstein. My area of research lies in applying machine learning techniques, especially deep learning, to challenging image and geometry processing problems.

I obtained my PhD from the Interactive Geometry Lab at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Olga Sorkine-Hornung. During my PhD study, I have had the honour to work at the Advanced Innovation Center for Future Visual Entertainment (AICFVE) in Beijing Film Academy, the Imaging and Video group at Disney Research Zurich, the Creative Intelligence Lab at Adobe Research in Seattle, and the vision group at DeepMind.

I am a Apple AI/ML fellow and a recipient of the Swiss Postdoc.Mobility fellowship and ETH Medal for outstanding doctoral thesis.
