About
Tzofi is a PhD student studying computer vision and machine learning at MIT Media Lab , where he is advised by Prof Ramesh Raskar .
His interests lie broadly in the intersection of computer vision and computational imaging. Topics of interest include generative design for vision and neural rendering (e.g. neural fields). Previously, Tzofi was a software engineer in the Alexa AI group at Amazon , and, before that, an AI researcher at MIT Lincoln Laboratory , where he focused on unsupervised representation learning. Since starting his PhD, Tzofi has spent summers with NVIDIA and Meta Reality Labs .
Tzofi is also a DoD NDSEG Fellow and 2023 Qualcomm Innovation Fellow .
He received his Master of Science from MIT and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from The University of Alabama , where he worked with Prof Travis Atkison . Before starting his PhD, he worked with Prof Polina Golland at MIT CSAIL on automated understanding of chest x-ray images and Prof Jeff Huang at Brown University on WebGazer .
