Luis Carranza
I am a PhD student at Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, currently working as a researcher at ViRVIG under the supervision of Oscar Argudo and Carlos Andújar. My research focuses on augmenting complex human body animations in sports, such as bouldering, using Deep Reinforcement Learning.
My research interests lies within character animation, deep reinforcement learning, and robotics.
With background in both industry and research, I am committed to bridging the gap between cutting-edge research technologies and their practical applications in the industry.
