David Novikov - MSc Student

About Me

I like rocks, rocks like me, we're a happy family:)

dude I love taking pictures, it is a shame I am bad at it

ok fine here is a nice one (lol thats also the file name)

I am an MSc student at the Weizmann Institute of Science, focusing on Computational Imaging advised by Mark Sheinin. Previously, I completed my BS in Computer Science and Engineering at The Ohio State University with an Honors Research Distinction advised by Alper Yilmaz and Summa Cum Laude honors. I have also had the pleasure of working with Mubarak Shah at the University of Central Florida and Furrukh Khan at Ohio State.
My research interests include computational imaging, computer vision, and machine learning.
Some of my nonacademic interests include being outside (climbing, calisthenics, biking, and running), photography, and music (I sometimes play guitar and piano(not at the same time)).
