Splat2Mesh: From Gaussian Splats to Structured and Editable 3D Scenes
arXiv
Splat2Mesh transforms Gaussian splat scenes into structured, object-centric 3D assets with editable, textured meshes.
Building human-centered visual intelligence for motion, health, and interactive 3D worlds.
I'm a Computer Science PhD candidate at University of Toronto, supervised by Dr. Babak Taati and Dr. Andrea Iaboni. I am also a Faculty Affiliate Researcher at Vector Institute and a Research Assistant at KITE - University Health Network. Previously, I was a Researcher at Vision & Learning for Autonomous AI (VL4AI) Lab, Monash University. I'm currently doing an internship at Pickford AI, working on generative AI for video and 3D, including video generation, real-time 3D animation, dynamic scene generation, and world models for interactive and physically grounded environments.
My research focuses on generative models applied across a range of computer vision tasks, with particular focus on 3D human motion understanding, realistic animation generation, dynamic scene generation, world models, human-centered physical AI, and healthcare applications such as clinical gait analysis.

PickStyle is a diffusion-based video style transfer framework that preserves video context while applying a target visual style. It uses low-rank style adapters and synthetic clip augmentation from paired images for training, and introduces Context-Style Classifier-Free Guidance (CS-CFG) to independently control content and style, achieving temporally consistent and style-faithful video results.

GAITGen is a generative framework that synthesizes realistic gait sequences conditioned on Parkinson’s severity. Using a Conditional Residual VQ-VAE and tailored Transformers, it disentangles motion and pathology features to produce clinically meaningful gait data. GAITGen enhances dataset diversity and improves performance in parkinsonian gait analysis tasks.
