Garvita Tiwari
I have a Ph.D. from the Max Planck Institute for Informatics (MPI-INF) and the University of Tuebingen, where I worked with the Real Virtual Humans group under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Gerard Pons-Moll. While my doctoral journey was deeply rooted in 3D human modeling and clothing dynamics, I am now looking into exciting new problems!
Currently, I am exploring the fascinating space of world models—thinking about how we can build intelligent, generative systems that truly understand the physics, geometry, and dynamics of real environments.
Beyond work, I am passionate about exploring the real world just as much as the virtual one. You can often find me traveling and enjoying the outdoors, learning about history, and exploring the cozy corners of the city I live in.
