Aleksei Zhuravlev

I am a recent graduate from MSc Computer Science at the University of Bonn, Germany. My Master Thesis Denoising Functional Maps was accepted at CVPR 2025. I have practical experience with diffusion models, neural radiance fields and large language models. My research interests include:

  • Diffusion Models for Vision and Graphics
  • 3D reconstruction with NeRFs and Gaussian Splatting
  • Knowledge Distillation from Foundational Models
