Fizza Rubab

I am a first year PhD student at Michigan State University supervised by Prof. Yiying Tong. My research has been generously supported by MSU University Distinguished Fellowship. Previously, I was a visiting research intern at Max Planck Institute for Informatics working on neural rendering at ISMaeL.

I have a broad interest in computer graphics and vision especially in geometry and image processing. My current research interests focuses on neural representations and operators for images and geometry.

I did my Bachelors from Habib University where I received the Chancellor's Yohsin Award, Dean's Medal and the Best Computer Science Research Award.

Research Interests

I am interested in the intersection of computer graphics, computer vision, and machine learning, with a focus on using implicit neural representations for tasks involving images and geometry.
