I am a machine learning reseach engineer at Adobe Research working on GANs for image generation and editing. I am interested in using generative models to learn image representations that allow for both editing and faithful reconstruction of the original input, e.g. faces or bodies. Other reseach interests of mine include unconditional image generation, text-to-image synthesis, and compositional representations for complex scenes. I am also interested in few-shot learning with GANs and the automatic evaluation of generative models.
I obtained my PhD at the Knowledge Technology group at the University of Hamburg (Germany). Before that, I completed a research oriented Master's degree in Intelligent Adaptive Systems at the University of Hamburg. I received a Bachelor's degree in Business Informatics at the University of Mannheim, during which I also studied at the National University of Singapore for one semester.
