AI researcher who co-invented NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields) — a technique for synthesizing novel 3D views of scenes from 2D photographs using neural networks — one of the most influential computer vision papers of the last decade.

Co-invented NeRF (Neural Radiance Fields) — the technique of representing 3D scenes as continuous neural functions that can synthesize photorealistic novel views from sparse 2D images — triggering an explosion of 3D AI research and influencing the 3D generation capabilities now appearing in generative AI.
