Hi, I'm Neil.

I'm an MSc Data Science student at ETH Zürich and a Research Intern in the PRS Lab under the supervision of Konrad Schindler, where I work on Point Cloud encoders and knowledge distillation.

I hold a BSc in Artificial Intelligence from the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, and I spent my final year at the Technical University of Munich as a student researcher in the Computer Vision Group, under the supervision of Daniel Cremers.

I build and study machine learning and computer vision systems from a research perspective, with a current focus on 3D asset generation, 3D foundation models, and the geometry of deep representations.

I am also a Rafael del Pino Excellence Fellow.

Neil
