I am the Lead Machine Learning Researcher at BRAHMA AI, where I work on generating photorealistic talking avatars, both offline and in real time, and on visual lip-sync for high-end localization.

I did my PhD at the Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy with Cristian Sminchisescu, on 3D reconstruction of humans and their interactions from images and video. Towards the end of my PhD, from 2021 to 2023, I was also a Research Scientist at Google Research. Before my PhD, I did my MSc at Saarland University as an IMPRS-CS fellow at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics, where my thesis was supervised by Bernt Schiele.
