Hi there! I'm Venkataram Sivaram.

I am a first-year PhD student at MIT in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science department advised by Fredo Durand and Jonathan-Ragan Kelley.

Previously, I was at UC San Diego doing a Bachelor of Sciences in Computer Science with a minor in Mathematics. I was actively involved in Computer Graphics research at the Center for Visual Computing, where I was fortunate to be mentored by Ravi Ramamoorthi and Tzu-Mao Li.

My research interests span various topics in computer graphics, including neural graphics, differentiable rendering, and appearance modeling. I'm passionate about developing efficient algorithms for 3D graphics and am eagerly exploring the intersection of machine learning and computer graphics.
