Research interest in computer graphics, perceptual rendering, computer vision and machine learning. Currently primar focus in neural rendering and novel view synthesis. Representative papers are highlighted.

Foveated radiance field rendering with smooth Gaussian peripheral and neural point splats for crisp foveal rendering.

Implicit volume-based scene reconstruction combined with point rendering for high detail novel-view synthesis.

A perspective-correct and view-consistent approach for 3D Gaussian splatting accelerated through hybrid transparency.

Dense and multi-view consitent depth maps optimized from an monoscopically estimated initialization.

Rendering and optimizing neural point clouds via trilinear point splatting and tiny neural networks for novel-view synthesis.

Improving point-based novel view synthesis quality by completing point cloud with 3D error volumes from 2D error maps.

Point-based novel view synthesis without per scene preprocessing or training using neural image based rendering. (*) Denotes equal contribution.

Novel view synthesis on live RGB-D streams with feedback during capturing, robust to slam loop closures.

Rendering only relevant fragments for parallax-based light field displays through device-tailored projection matrices.

Point-based differentiable one-pixel point rendering for automatic scene calibration and high-quality novel view synthesis.

Foveated Rendering via temporal forward reprojection for fast, imperceptible VR rendering.

A multi-layered depth of field method for solving partial occlusion in real-time rendering.

Exploration of generative programming for efficient CUDA kernels in depth of field rendering.

Single-layer tiled splatting for depth of field rendering.
