ABOUT ONDREJ TEXLER
As a Principal Research Scientist at Valka.ai. I manage and tech-lead the core video research team of 10+ research scientists and several university collaborations. Focusing on photorealistic rendering of human faces, hands, and bodies via neural rendering techniques including DiT, Gaussian Splatting, and GANs; conducting research into human hand motion modeling and face expression modeling.My entire research career has been revolving around generating realistically looking content given certain conditions, ranging from painterly images, animated stylized videos, to expressive photorealistic avatars with believable and controllable motion. I hold PhD in Computer Graphics, published over 10 papers at top venues such as CVPR or SIGGRAPH, have been cited over 300 times, have GitHub repositories with over 700 stars and 100 forks, co-invented 9 patents, created proof-of-concepts helping to raise multi-million seed round, shipped and released computer vision models and novel rendering pipelines unlocking millions of dollars in ARR, founded and led research teams, peer-reviewed tens of papers, won prizes such as the Best in Show Award at Real-Time Live SIGGRAPH or Joseph Fourier Prize, and gave invited talks and interviews at SIGGRAPH Now, ECCV, or BBC News.
