Kfir Aberman

I'm a Research Scientist at Snap Research, leading the Personalized Generative AI effort.
My passion is synthesizing novel visual effects that are impactful and meaningful to people’s day to day. I conduct research for various computer graphics applications using the power of Generative AI, and develop the next generation of cool, creative, generative features for Snap.

Prior to Snap I was a Research Scientist at Google Research. I received my Ph.D from Tel-Aviv University where I was advised by Daniel Cohen-Or. I grew up in a small town in Israel called Zefat, lived in Tel-Aviv as an adult, spent 3 wonderful years in China as a researcher, and currently I’m based in the Bay Area (California).

I love to host at Snap (Palo Alto) students that are passionate about synthesis and visual effects, and I can host through the entire year! If you would like to work with me, please reach out.
