Basic Information

I am a Ph.D. student with the Max Planck ETH Center for Learning Systems (CLS), supervised by Siyu Tang (ETH), Justus Thies (MPI-IS, Tübingen & TU Darmstadt), and Otmar Hilliges (ETH). My research focuses on reconstructing photo-realistic 3D avatars of the human head with affordable capturing hardware with a particular emphasis on extreme expressions. Such technology will be a crucial step towards next-gen telecommunication and entertainment, e.g., in immersive 3D video-conferencing and VR gaming.
