About me

I am Nedko Savov, a PhD student at the Institute for Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence and Technology, Sofia University. I am supervised by Prof. Luc Van Gool.

I’m broadly interested in teaching computers to understand and generate visual worlds — from videos to interactive environments.
My current research involves vision-based generative modeling with an emphasis on control and interaction. I am interested in world models, controllable video synthesis/editing and data-driven simulators generalizing across many environments. Through my past work, I also have background in face analysis and synthesis.
