I am an Associate Research Scientist at DisneyResearch|Studios (DRS). My research interest is at the intersection of deep learning, image processing and image synthesis, particularly algorithms that can accelerate physically based rendering (PBR) or facilitate creative workflows that use PBR. More specifically, I explore algorithms that can better reconstruct rendered images from a handful of light transport samples (we also call it “denoising”). Prior to joining DRS, I was a PhD student at ETH Zurich, jointly with the Computer Graphics Lab (CGL) and DRS.
A lot of my spare time is spent with my girlfriend (website temporarily offline though), who researches pathways to a sustainable future. Besides, I play mainly 2 computer games: minesweeper and osu!. Therefore, I can say I am somehow good at controlling the mouse. I also like to play traditional games like Mahjong, Scrabble, and Bridge, listed in the order of my skills.
Feel free to drop an email if you are interested in what I do or play!
