Ahnaf An Nafee
PhD Student in AI & 3D Graphics @ GMU | DCXR Lab | Ex-CTO
I'm a PhD student at George Mason University's DCXR Lab, advised by Dr. Craig Yu. My research sits at the intersection of AI and 3D computer graphics—exploring how machine learning can transform how we create, interact with, and experience immersive digital worlds.
Before diving into research, I co-founded a tech startup as CTO, where I learned that the best ideas mean nothing without execution. That experience shapes how I approach research: I build systems that work, not just papers that publish.
Research Focus:
- AI-driven creative workflows for 3D content generation
- Machine learning for graphics pipelines - automating UV mapping, NPR techniques, and modeling workflows
- Human-computer interaction in immersive environments
Always open to collaborations with researchers and industry partners pushing the boundaries of AI and graphics.
