Portrait of Hadar Averbuch-Elor

I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Cornell University & Cornell Tech and a member of the Cornell Graphics and Vision Group. Prior to that, I spent two years as an Assistant Professor at Tel Aviv University in the ECE Department. I also did my PhD at Tel Aviv University, where I was advised by Daniel Cohen-Or. I was a postdoc at Cornell Tech working with Noah Snavely. Before all that, I earned my B.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the Technion.

My research interests are in computer graphics and vision, with a focus on combining pixels with more structured modalities, such as natural language and 3D geometry, for building multimodal perception systems that can reconstruct, generate, and understand the full complexity of the real 3D world.
