Tzofi is a PhD student studying computer vision and machine learning at MIT Media Lab, where he is advised by Prof Ramesh Raskar.
His interests lie broadly in the intersection of computer vision and computational imaging. Topics of interest include generative design for vision and neural rendering (e.g. neural fields). Previously, Tzofi was a software engineer in the Alexa AI group at Amazon, and, before that, an AI researcher at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, where he focused on unsupervised representation learning. Since starting his PhD, Tzofi has spent summers with NVIDIA and Meta Reality Labs.
Tzofi is also a DoD NDSEG Fellow and 2023 Qualcomm Innovation Fellow.
He received his Master of Science from MIT and Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from The University of Alabama, where he worked with Prof Travis Atkison. Before starting his PhD, he worked with Prof Polina Golland at MIT CSAIL on automated understanding of chest x-ray images and Prof Jeff Huang Brown University on WebGazer.
