About me

My name is Frano Rajič, and I’m a PhD student in the Computer Vision and Learning Group (VLG) at ETH Zürich, under the supervision of Prof. Siyu Tang. My primary interest lies in addressing 3D computer vision problems using Deep Learning, particularly in dynamic scene reconstruction and understanding. Previously, I worked as a research intern with Dr. Martin Danelljan at ETH and with Prof. Robert West and Prof. Alexandre Alahi at EPFL. I’ve also spent time at KTH, UniZG‑FER, Amazon, HashCode, and Nviso SA.
