Shrisha Bharadwaj

Shrisha Bharadwaj is a Doctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems working within the Perceiving Systems group under supervision of Prof. Dr. Michael Black and Dr. Victoria Fernandez-Abrevaya. She began her Ph.D. in September 2024 after completing an internship with the same group starting September 2022.

Her research spans several key areas in visual computing:

• Modeling realistic textures from sparse inputs
• 3D reconstruction of static environments
• Generative approaches to relighting
• Neural rendering without explicit geometry modeling
• Video diffusion applications for physical property manipulation

Shrisha completed her Master's in Machine Learning at the University of Tübingen, where she worked with Prof. Andreas Geiger at the Autonomous Vision Group on improving radiance field reconstruction using depth information. Her recent publications demonstrate significant contributions to SIGGRAPH Asia and ACM Transactions on Graphics, particularly in creating efficient, relightable 3D avatars and novel approaches to single-image relighting.

Her work shows a consistent trajectory toward solving complex vision and graphics problems using minimal input data, with practical applications in digital content creation, virtual reality, and augmented reality systems.
