Maxim Popov

I am a PhD student in Artificial Intelligence at ITMO University, where I am advised by Prof. Sergey Kolyubin. Master's degree also from ITMO University and Bachelor's degree from BMSTU.

My current research focuses on 3D scene understanding and embodied AI.

I'm looking for chances to team up with scientists from all over the world. Feel free to write me if you're interested.
