I’m Eduardo Alvarado, a postdoctoral researcher at Max Planck Institute for Informatics (Visual Computing and Artificial Intelligence), currently working on AI for human motion and virtual avatars.
I completed my PhD in Virtual Avatars and Human Motion at École Polytechnique, in the Visual Worlds: Temporal Analysis, Animation and Authoring (VISTA) group under the supervision of Prof. Damien Rohmer and Prof. Marie-Paule Cani, while being part of the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Innovative Training Network CLIPE, funded by the European Union Horizon 2020 framework. Prior to my PhD, I got my M.Sc. in Embedded Systems and AI at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg and my B.Sc. in Electronics and Automation Engineering at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid.
