Background
  • Inspired by Richard Feynman’s dictum “What I cannot create, I do not understand,” his research focuses on developing and understanding intelligence emerging from visual generation and rendering processes (i.e., Generative AI).
  • Using Neural Rendering and Generative Models as general-purpose learning machines, his research directions include:
  • – Rendering-induced intelligence (e.g., Evolutive Rendering, Neural Gauge Fields)
  • – Generative 3D intelligence (e.g., UNITE, IQ-VAE, SF-GAN)
  • – 3D for Robotics and Science (e.g., 3D-OVS)
