Joel Julin

I am an incoming Ph.D. student in Robotics and currently completing the Master's in Robotics (MSR) program at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU), where I work on 3D vision problems under the guidance of László Jeni. My work aims to make virtual scenes visually indistinguishable from reality. Prior to CMU, I graduated from The University of Pittsburgh (Pitt) with a degree in computer science.

While at Pitt, I conducted research with the Ci2Cv computer vision lab at CMU's RI under Simon Lucey (now director of the Australian Institute of Machine Learning at The University of Adelaide). Also at Pitt, I had the opportunity to work with Dr. Jeni's computational behavior lab at CMU through the Robotics Institute Summer Scholar Program supported by an NSF Grant.
