I am the research group leader of the Graphics and Vision for Digital Humans group at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. My research interests lie in the field of Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, and Machine Learning. In particular, my work focuses on real-time human performance capture from single RGB videos, physical plausibility of the surface deformations and the human motion, photo-realistic animation synthesis, and learning generative 3D human characters from video.

In summary, my research interests include (but are not limited to):
Computer Vision, Computer Graphics, Machine Learning
Human Performance Capture and Synthesis
Reconstruction of Non-Rigid Deformations from RGB Video
Neural Rendering
Motion Capture
