I was very honoured to receive one of the two Eurographics Young Researcher Award 2025 yesterday!

This is the combination of the work of many people, mentors, collaborators, students, friends who trusted me and taught me so much along the way!

I’m excited to share that I’ll be joining Adobe, UK, as a Senior Research Scientist! I’m looking forward to this opportunity to impact the future of creative tools.

I’m also looking for strong PhD students to collaborate with for the 2025 Adobe 3-month Summer Internship Program.

Announcing SGI 2025! Undergrads and MS students: Apply for 6 weeks of paid summer geometry processing research. No experience needed: 1 week tutorials + 5 weeks of projects. Mentors are top researchers in this emerging branch of graphics/computing/math. sgi.mit.edu

Starting new year by sorting things out! All the sketch-related datasets, we collected over the years can be found here: yulia.gryaditskaya.com/datasets/

🎓 We introduce SAMa! A material selection and segmentation model on 3D models in any format (3DGS, NeRF, Mesh).
Given a user click, we propose to select all regions on an objects with the same material. We can also do segmentation in under a minute: mfischer-ucl.github.io/sama/

SIGGRAPH Asia (still) coming up! Second paper thread!

"Direct Manipulation of Procedural Implicit Surfaces" where we explore how to create a WYSIWYG editing interface for procedural representations, avoiding awkward sliders!
