Philipp Henzler

Research Scientist, Google

I am a Research Scientist at Google working on controllable video models (Veo) and generative 3D AI. I received my PhD from University College London supervised by Tobias Ritschel and Niloy J. Mitra. My PhD thesis received the Eurographics PhD Thesis award 2024. I received my BSc and MSc from Ulm University in Germany where I am originally from.
