Hi, I am Ananta. I am a Ph.D. student at Bielefeld University (Visual AI for Extended Reality Lab led by Prof. Helge Rhodin). I completed my Master’s degree in Computer Science from TU Munich advised by Prof. Matthias Niessner and Artem Sevastopolsky. Alongside my Master’s studies, I was fortunate to work with Dr. Michael Lebacher and Prof. Florian Buettner on Explainable AI at Siemens AG.

Previously, I completed my Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science at Jacobs University Bremen. During my Bachelor’s, I spent a term abroad at Carnegie Mellon University, where I did independent research under the supervision of Prof. Ruslan Salakhutdinov.

I’m interested in working at the intersection of 3D computer vision, computer graphics, and machine learning.
