Nicolas Ugrinovic

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, where I work with Kris Kitani. Previously, I worked at Meta (FAIR).

I obtained my PhD from IRI-UPC under the supervision of Francesc Moreno-Noguer. During this time, I interned at Amazon Science. I was also a visitor at Stanford University in Leonidas Guibas Lab and Naver Labs Europe with Gregory Rogez.

My research is in computer vision and machine learning. I am interested in pushing the boundaries of perception and understanding of our dynamic 3D world by modeling humans and their environment in a physically grounded manner.
