Senior🎓
Top SchoolGopal Sharma is a Senior Researcher with 11 years of experience at the intersection of computer graphics and machine learning, currently at Samsung Research America after a postdoc at UBC. He earned a PhD from UMass Amherst where his work focused on interpretable, editable neural representations and self-supervised learning for 3D shapes, and has internships at NVIDIA and Adobe applying these ideas to semantic segmentation and differentiable surface fitting. Gopal’s recent research centers on neural fields and diffusion models, blending theoretical rigor with practical systems for 3D understanding. With multiple top-tier publications and a strong engineering background dating back to embedded systems and UAV tracking, he brings both academic depth and hands-on product-minded experience. Based in Sunnyvale, he’s known for making 3D representations more editable and interpretable—an often-overlooked but crucial step toward real-world deployment of generative 3D models.
