Armin Shafiee Sarvestani

I’m a final-year Ph.D. candidate in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo, advised by Zhou Wang. Previously, I earned my bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from Sharif University of Technology.

My Ph.D. research focuses on 3D reconstruction and representation learning optimized for perceptual quality. Through research internships at Samsung Research America, IMAX, and SSIMWAVE, I further gained experience in HDR imaging research/technology and developed diffusion models for content generation, VLM-based quality assessment methods, and perceptual metrics for streaming and cinema pipelines.
