Deepali Aneja

Research Engineer

Seattle

Deepali is a Research Engineer at Adobe Research. Her research is at the intersection of computer vision, graphics, and machine learning. Recently she has been working on enhancing performance-based animation for cartoon characters and applying machine learning techniques to create new tools for artists.

She finished her Ph.D. in computer science at the University of Washington. Her thesis focused on developing learning-based techniques for facial animation. She also received the Adobe Fellowship Award in 2018.

She is always looking for interns and collaborators to work on exciting research projects. Please feel free to reach out to learn more.
