I am a Deep Learning Researcher with experience in computer vision, 3D and audio recognition. Currently pursuing a PhD in the Cognitive Vision Lab at the University of Surrey under the supervision of Prof. Richard Bowden. My work deals with human image/video generation for producing content in sign language.

Previously, I have been working for Zibra AI, Digital Reasoning (acquired by Smarsh), Star, Samsung Research Ukraine. I also hold degrees from Queen Mary University of London and National Technical University of Ukraine “Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute”.

[Hiring!] Our lab is always looking for strong, self-motivated PhD students. If you are interested in generative modeling with applications in sign language, please email me.
