Rishabh Dabral


News: I started as a Research Group Leader at MPI for Informatics in August 2024.

I am leading the "3D Visual Intelligence" Research Group at the Max-Planck Institute for Informatics. I am also associated with 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 3D human performance capture and synthesis. Some research questions that we explore include:
  • Human Motion Synthesis for Animation and Robotics
  • Human-Object Interaction
  • Human Performance Capture
  • Behavioral Modeling of Social Interactions
Open PhD Positions: We are looking for outstanding PhD students to join us. If the topics above excite you, please reach out with an email containing your CV, transcripts, and a research statement describing your past work and your motivation behind pursuing a PhD.
