Hi, Im Pinon. I am a Second year Ph.D. student at Mila & Concordia University. My research focuses on Image World Models and Generative AI for Video/3D, particularly 3D human reconstruction, novel view synthesis, and pose-driven human video generation.

Aside from research I love cooking, learning languages, following valorant matches and hiking.
