Mohamed Hassan

I am an AI Scientist at Electronic Arts working on learning-based character animation. I am interested in creating animatable virtual characters. I love exploring how we can create and animate them from different modalities like images, videos, text, sketches, or sparse user constraints.

I hold a Ph.D. from Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems, where I worked on computer vision, computer graphics and machine learning. I was advised by Michael Black. In my PhD thesis, I explored the reconstruction, analysis, and generation of Human-Scene Interaction.

During my Ph.D., I was an intern at Nvidia Toronto AI lab where I worked with Sanja Filder and Jason Peng. I also had the pleasure of doing an internship at Adobe Research in the summer of 2020. At Adobe, I worked with Duygu Ceylan, Ruben Villegas, Jun Saito, Yi Zhou, and Jimei Yang.

In my free time, I like to mentor undergraduate students from my alma mater in Sudan. I enjoy reading about history, philosophy, and economics. I also like to cycle, run, and train in martial arts.
