I am Uday, a final year PhD student at the Geometric Computing Laboratory, EPFL advised by Prof. Mark Pauly

Yellowstone circa 2023

I am interested in developing algorithms for shape synthesis, analysis, simulation, optimization and digital fabrication. During my PhD, I have interned at Adobe Research working with Dr. Adrien Kaiser and Prof. Jean-Marc Thiery.

Prior to joining EPFL, I was a Masters student in Computer Science at The University of Texas at Austin where I was fortunate to work with Prof. Qixing Huang and Prof. Hao Su. I did my Bachelor's in Computer Science with Honors and a minor in Mathematics at IIT Bombay where I worked with Prof. Siddhartha Chaudhuri on scene graph parsing and reconstruction and Prof. Arjun Jain on Human Pose Estimation. I have also done internships at NEC Labs America, Samsung Research Seoul and Inria Sophia Antipolis.
