Ainaz Eftekhar

I am a last-year bachelor student in computer engineering at Sharif University of Technology. I'm also a visiting student at EPFL working at Visual Intelligence and Learning Laboratory (VILAB), under the guidance of Amir Zamir. I'm planning to start my graduate studies from Fall 2022.

My research interests are broadly in computer vision and machine learning. I'm interested in 3D vision as we all live in a 3D world. So if we want agents that can actively perceive and interact with their environment, we should be able to build systems that can understand the 3D structure of the world from the 2-dimensional images captured by cameras.

I’m also interested in the intersection of computer vision and cognitive science and methods inspired by vision development in biological systems (especially children). I'm excited about building artificial models that can develop visual perception through sensing the world in different modalities, exploring and interacting with their physical environment, and learning like a child.
