Hello,

I'm a research scientist with Unity Technologies where I work in a small research group called Unity Labs Grenoble. I'm particularly interested in topics at the intersection of learning and computer graphics, such as by-example content creation (.e.g., texture synthesis), image analysis (e.g. intrinsic decomposition) and rendering.

In recent years I have worked on both Computer Graphics and Computer Vision projects at Strasbourg University, Inria, and ETH Zürich. Please browse my website or that of Unity Labs Grenoble for more information regarding my CV and/or research activities.

Note that we're always looking for motivated interns in this field: please refer to our group's website for more information, and feel free to get in touch.

Best,

Kenneth
