Bio
I am currently a PhD student at the Visual Computing & AI Lab. Before this, I obtained my M.Sc. in Informatics at the Technical University of Munich and my B.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, during which I spent one semester abroad at the University of South Australia in Adelaide. My present research focuses on reconstructing and rendering photorealistic human head avatars.Research Interest

| BecomingLit reconstructs intrinsically decomposed head avatars based on 3D Gaussian primitives for real-time relighting and animation. To train our avatars, we introduce a novel multi-view light stage dataset. |
