About Me

I am a PhD student at 'Real Virtual Humans' group, Max Planck Institute for Informatics (MPI-INF), Saarland with Dr. Gerard Pons-Moll. I had previously worked at Microsoft Research, India as a Research Fellow and completed my Masters research at IIIT-H, India working with Prof. C.V. Jawahar and Dr. Chetan Arora.

Research Interests

My research focus is on building realistic and smart virtual humans. I've worked on modelling 3D humans and clothing, where we explored tasks like 3D reconstruction, registrations, animation, correspondence prediction etc. from images, videos and point clouds.
What's next? To build the next generation of smart virtual humans, modelling the appearance of virtual humans is necessary but not sufficient. We also need to model how humans behave in their environments. To this end, I'm currently focusing on building models of human-scene interactions.
