Akshay Gadi Patil

About Me

I obtained my Ph.D. from Simon Fraser University where I was a member of the GrUVi Lab, advised by Hao (Richard) Zhang.

I work in the areas of 3D computer graphics and vision, developing computational models for generative and interactive shape/scene understanding and geometric modeling problems.

My research focuses on the neural modeling of 2D documents, 3D shapes and 3D scenes, exploring different representations centered around generation, reconstruction, and interaction tasks. I also explore the coupling of text/language commands to model and modulate visual data.

Earlier, I graduated with a M.Tech in Electrical Engineering (Signal Processing) from IIT Gandhinagar, working with Shanmuganathan Raman. I was also a visiting student at JAIST, Japan .
