Thor Vestergaard Christiansen

I am a PhD student at DTU Compute in Copenhagen, Denmark supervised by Professor J. Andreas Bærentzen and Assistant Prof. Morten R. Hannemose.

The title of my PhD project is Neural Form Representation, and I work on learning-based methods for representing geometric shapes.

I was previously a visiting PhD student with Professor Karan Singh at the DGP Lab at the University of Toronto.

Below you find a list of my published papers.

We use a simple MLP to learn both the Generalized Winding Number and the Unsigned Distance Field to represent sets of surfaces with different number of boundary curves such as human facial expressions and different types of garments.

During my PhD I have given lectures and designed an exercise in the course 02563 Generative Methods for Computer Graphics.

I designed an experiment, which was performed on the International Space Station ISS. The teaser video is from the European Space Agency, ESA, and provided by the Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR), DR, P3 Essensen. Also, see the DR Article.

Together with a team of engineering students, I won the Oticon Audio Explorers competition in 2018 Competition. The image is from Oticon © from the Oticon Audio Explorers Tour 2018 to New York City.
