About
I am a PhD student at Max Planck Institute for Informatics, Visual Computing and Artificial Intelligence Department, advised by Prof. Christian Theobalt.
My research focuses on 3D hand-object interaction and scene understanding from visual and tactile input. I have also worked on physics-based 3D human pose estimation, diffusion model efficiency, and medical imaging. Ultimately, I aim to enable intuitive human-robot interaction through robust 3D perception.
