Cedric Martens

I am a Computer Graphics PhD student at Université de Montréal supervised by Mikhail Bessmeltsev.

My research focuses on geometry processing, with an interest to generalized winding numbers, and geometric optimization through differentiable rendering.

In my free time, I enjoy reading, programming, and learning new things!
