I lead the "3D Visual Intelligence" Research Group at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. Prior to this, I did my PhD from IIT Bombay, under the supervision of Arjun Jain and Ganesh Ramakrishnan. I am also associated with the VIA Center and the Research Training Group on Neuro-Explicit Models of Language, Vision, and Action at Saarland University.

My research interests lie in the intersection of 3D computer vision, computer graphics, and multi-modal interactions. I am particularly interested in developing algorithms for the capture and synthesis of digital humans and their interactions with the world.

Some research questions we explore include:

• Human Motion Synthesis for Animation and Robotics
• Human-Object Interaction
• Human Performance Capture
• Behavioral Modeling of Social Interactions
