Bio:
SIGGRAPH 2022
I lead the Smart Geometry Processing group at University College London and the Adobe Research London Lab. I received my MS and PhD from Stanford University. My current research focuses on developing machine learning frameworks for generating high-quality geometric and appearance models for CG applications. I received the 2019 Eurographics Outstanding Technical Contributions Award, the 2015 British Computer Society Roger Needham Award, and the 2013 ACM SIGGRAPH Significant New Researcher Award. Besides research, Niloy is an active DIYer and loves reading, bouldering, and cooking.
