Biography

I am a third-year PhD student supervised by Prof. Dr. Otmar Hilliges. I obtained my Computer Science Master's degree at ETH Zürich in 2021.

My research interests lie in human-centric computer vision ranging from basic understandings of human-centric videos, such as human recognition and pose estimation, to more complicated generative tasks, such as motion and full-body generation.

Recently, I am interested in leveraging generative 3D avatars to facilitate human pose estimation and 3D understanding.

You can find my previous projects in my external homepage, google scholar, or LinkedIn.

Projects for Prospective Master's Students

Please check out this project description I am seeking self-motivated students interested in 3D avatar editing, generative modeling, and clothing reconstruction. You are also welcome to reach out if you want to propose your own project.

Keywords: Pose Estimation; Controllable Generative Modeling; 3D Human Avatars; Diffusion Models; Clothing Reconstruction.
