  • Proficiency in Python and frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face
  • Experience in one or more areas: sparse-view 3D reconstruction, camera pose estimation, NeRFs, 3D Gaussian Splatting, or self-supervised representation learning
  • Background in 2D, 3D, or video diffusion models
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative approach to problem-solving
  • Interest in publishing at top-tier research venues

Preferred Experience

  • Evaluation of generative or agentic systems
  • Knowledge of privacy-preserving techniques and responsible AI, particularly as they relate to fairness in housing
