Mounir Lbath
I am a third-year student at École Polytechnique in Paris, after two years of preparatory classes at Louis-Le-Grand. I currently work with Prof. Maks Ovsjanikov at LIX on functional maps and the spectral geometry of attention.
I am interested in geometry and machine learning: shape correspondence, spectral methods, 3D computer vision and neural rendering, and more generally in deep learning for the 3D world.
