Perceiving Systems Guest Scientist
Hi there!
I’m Balamurugan Thambiraja, presently pursuing a Ph.D. at the 3D Graphics & Vision of Prof. Justus Thies at the TU Darmstadt. Previously, I was a Ph.D. student at Neural Capture and Synthesis at Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, Germany. During my Ph.D., I closely collaborated with Darren Cosker and Sadegh Aliakbarian from Mesh Labs, Microsoft, Cambridge.
In my Ph.D., I'm focusing on human motion and its associated dynamics. Specifically, I have been exploring the potential use of diffusion-models and large-language-models for motion synthesis and editing. Recently, I started working on hand motion/HOI synthesis.
Before Ph.D., I did a Masters in Informatics at TUM, Germany, where I worked on human modelling and sign language synthesis at the Visual Computing and Artificial Intelligence group of Prof. Matthias Niessner. Before that, I did my Bachelors in Electrical and Electronics Engineering at Kumaraguru College of Technology, Coimbatore, India.
If you are someone looking to work on / want to work on face motion, hand motion and leveraging LLM's for motion synthesis. Please feel free to reach out.
