Aryan Garg

Currently, I'm a first year Computer Science PhD student at UW-Madison, advised by Professor Mohit Gupta.

For the summer of '24, I interned at the Computational Behaviour Lab directed by Prof. Antti Oulasvirta at Aalto University. I was extremely fortunate to have close support from Dr. Yue Jiang. Additionally, I'm incredibly lucky to have met and made close-friends with Julian Fabinc and Noemi Ippolito.

Last, I was a Bosch AI Research Fellow at the Computational Imaging Lab directed by Prof. Kaushik Mitra at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras. In a past life, I finished my Bachelor's in Computer Science at IIT Mandi, where I was advised by Prof. Renu Rameshan. During my junior year, I had the privilege of being advised by Prof. Jean-François Lalonde and Dr. Yannick Hold-Geoffroy while spending a MITACS summer at Université Laval in the beautiful Quebec City.

Apart from research and academic services, I enjoy reading 📚, traveling ✈️, endurance sports 🚴‍♂️, playing the electric guitar and trekking 🏔️. My previous trek (8th) was Sandakphu-Phalut in the Himalayas overlooking the majestic sleeping Buddha.

Research Interests

My main focus is on deep generative modeling and 3D scene reconstruction. Outside of that, I also enjoy going on side quests 🗡️ to push the boundaries of core machine learning.

High Dynamic Range 3D Gaussian Splatting At Night

Stereo Knowledge Distillation for dp-disparity estimation, dpMV dataset, and LFVR.

Unconditional face generation at the speed and size of DCGAN using a relatively tiny training dataset (~4000). Convergence and higher fidelity over StyleGAN are achieved using a spectrally normalized discriminator and a tiny generator within 20 minutes on a commercial, free cloud GPU.

Synthetic dataset generation and sinusoidal activations lead to a winning solution over the final displacement error.

SkyNet for user-controlled generation of skies incorporating the versatility of parametric models and realism from deep generative networks.
