AI RESEARCHER and BALLROOM DANCER

GitHubEmailLinkedInInstagram

Hi there! I'm a PhD student researching geometry with the power of AI. I've delved into generative modeling using transformers and explored local symmetry detection through contrastive learning. Currently, I'm excited to be working on AI models for geometry abstraction. My research combines geometric modeling and shape analysis with machine learning

Beyond the lab, I find joy in ballroom dancing, capturing the world through the lens of my camera, and playing board games with friends. Feel free to explore my website or add me on LinkedIn!

Research & Projects

Shape Generation

The publication of the Octree Transformer at the CVPR was one of my first steps into the world of academic research. Beeing part of the conference and the community was an overwhelming experience.

GITHUB REPO

Symmetry Detection

Detection of partial symmetries is still an unsolved challenge in computer graphics and shape analysis. Through learning the similarity of local patches we tried to come closer to the solution of this ill-posed problem.

READ PAPER

Geometry Abstraction

My newest endeavour revolves around the abstraction of 3D shapes into geometric primitives. Using a novel fine-to-coarse approach we are able to improve upon SOTA cuboid shape abstraction techniques.

AI in Games

One of the proudest projects during the time of my computer science study was developing an AI agent to play the game of spe_ed. Together with my friends, we entered a coding competition and won the 1st place!

Personal & Hobbys

Ballroom Dancing

Ballroom dancing is not just a hobby for me, it is a passion! I'm in the studio multiple times a week, hitting up dance parties whenever I can, and eagerly participate in regional competitions.

Photography

I started taking pics of dancers. However, it wasn't long before my camera became a constant companion on all my trips and adventures, nurturing my love for photography.

Traveling & Nature

When I'm not glued to my desk or dancing my heart out, I love getting outside. Few days out of the city in the middle of nature recharges my batteries.

Board Games

I find great enjoyment playing board games with my friends. Be it a simple table top from 20 years ago or a complicated card game with thousends of rules.
