Tiancheng (Kevin) Sun

孙天成

I am a senior research scientist at Google, working on Google Beam. I received my Ph.D. in Computer Science (Google Ph.D. Fellow) at University of California, San Diego under the advisory of Prof. Ravi Ramamoorthi. I did my undergraduate in Yao Class, Tsinghua University.

I am generally interested in computer vision and graphics, with a particular focus on novel view synthesis and 3D reconstruction. Recently, I am more focused on 3D continuous learning in time.
