I am a Ph.D. student (2023-) at the Max Planck ETH Center for Learning Systems (CLS), jointly supervised by Justus Thies (MPI), Michael Black (MPI), Otmar Hilliges (ETH) and Marc Pollefeys (ETH). Before that, I worked as a Research Engineer at Samsung AI Center (2021-2023). I obtained my Master's degree (2020-2022) in Data Science from a joint program between Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.

My interests lie at the intersection of Computer Graphics and Computer Vision. I am interested in creating photorealistic human avatars. Currently, I am focused on realistic hair reconstruction and rendering.
