*Who:*             Rana Hanocka, University of Chicago



*Title:*             Shape editing, generation, and stylization


*Abstract:      *Manual authoring of 3D content is a laborious and tedious
task. In this talk, I present some of 3DL's recent and on-going efforts
toward building tools which provide intuitive control for editing,
manipulating, and generating 3D shapes. I will discuss how recent
advancements, such as joint vision-language embedding spaces can be used to
stylize 3D objects, driven by natural language. Finally, I will conclude
with ongoing and future work in this direction, as well as other related
areas.



*Bio:*              Rana Hanocka is an Assistant Professor at the
University of Chicago, where she leads the 3DL ("Threedle") research group.
Her research interests span computer graphics, computer vision and machine
learning. She completed her Ph.D. at Tel Aviv University under the
supervision of Daniel Cohen-Or and Raja Giryes. Her Ph.D. research focused
on building neural networks for irregular 3D data and applying them to
problems in Geometry Processing.

*Research at TTIC Seminar Series*



TTIC is hosting a weekly seminar series presenting the research currently
underway at the Institute. Every week a different TTIC faculty member will
present their research.  The lectures are intended both for students
seeking research topics and advisors, and for the general TTIC and
University of Chicago communities interested in hearing what their
colleagues are up to.
