Gaurav Bharaj

I am a Director of Research at AI Foundation, where I lead the generative science research to create virtual humans.

I did my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Harvard University under the supervision of Hanspeter Pfister and Masters from University of Pennsylvania. Previously, I worked as a researcher at Technicolor R&I and at Max-Planck Institute of Informatics, where my advisor was Christian Theobalt. I spent summers working at MIT, Disney Research, Adobe Research, and Intel.
