Presenter

Otman Benchekroun is a PhD student at the University of Toronto, advised by Prof. Dr. Eitan Grinspun. His research lies at the intersection of physical simulation and reduced-order modeling, with a focus on building faster ways to simulate deformable objects while preserving some physical structure. He's completed research internships at Adobe, Roblox, and Meta, where he worked on problems in animation, physics, and real-time tooling.
