Hey, I'm Adhithya Laxman 👋

About Me

I'm a first-year MSc Data Science student at ETH Zurich, currently doing research at the Computer Vision and Geometry Group (CVG) on 3D reconstruction for in-the-wild indoor videos — working with transformer-based models like DUSt3R, MASt3R, and DAV3 to improve robustness where classical SfM methods fail.

Before ETH, I completed my B.E. in Computer Science at Coimbatore Institute of Technology (top 2% of class) and a Diploma in Data Science at IIT Madras — both in parallel. I've interned at Caterpillar Inc. (monocular depth estimation for autonomous trucks), Akamai Technologies (DevOps/ETL at scale), and Samsung R&D (generative models).

I genuinely enjoy hard ML problems — whether that's getting a model to run on edge hardware, figuring out why a vision transformer fails on certain inputs, or building systems that hold up at scale.

  • 🔬 ETH CVG Research — Benchmarking ViT-based 3D reconstruction models (DUSt3R, MASt3R, DAV3); building hybrid SfM pipelines with COLMAP; multi-GPU training on Euler HPC
