About Me
This website is out of date. Check out my new website. Hi everyone! I’m currently a 3rd year PhD student at Inria Sophia-Antipolis, in the beautiful south of France. My PhD supervisor is Adrien Bousseau and we are working together on sketch-based modeling. Aside from that I’m very interested in discrete optimization, computational design and more generally in approaches which tackle mixed-integer problems.
Outside of work I like to do slacklining, bouldering and reading novels.

Publications
CAD2Sketch : Generating Concept Sketches from CAD Sequences
Felix Hähnlein, Changjian Li, Niloy J. Mitra, Adrien Bousseau
SIGGRAPH Asia 2022
In this project, we studied in depth the similarities between
two design languages: Sketching and CAD.
Based on our observations, we developed a non-photorealistic rendering
method to translate CAD sequences into concept sketches.
Symmetry-driven 3D Reconstruction from Concept Sketches
Felix Hähnlein, Yulia Gryaditskaya, Alla Sheffer, Adrien Bousseau
SIGGRAPH North America 2022
In this project, we investigated how to use symmetry to reconstruct concept
sketches.
On the one hand, finding out which strokes are symmetric with each
other and how to position symmetry planes is a challenging problem.
On the other hand, symmetry allows us to pre-compute all 3D stroke
candidates and to use an integer programming formulation to solve a
difficult combinatorial problem.
Lifting Freehand Concept Sketches into 3D
Yulia Gryaditskaya, Felix Hähnlein, Chenxi Liu, Alla Sheffer, Adrien Bousseau
SIGGRAPH Asia 2020
In this project, we lift design sketches into 3D.
Assigning depth to 2D strokes is a highly non-convex problem, which we
tackle by solving a discrete proxy problem: deciding whether or not a
2D intersection is an occlusion or an actual 3D intersection.
Observations from design practices allow us to formulate an objective
function for this optimization problem.
Bitmap or Vector? A study on sketch representations for deep stroke segmentation
Felix Hähnlein, Yulia Gryaditskaya, Adrien Bousseau
Journées Françaises d'Informatique Graphique 2019
In this short paper, we investigated sketch segmentation performance
differences when processing the drawing in two different input
formats: (i) as pixels and (ii) as point clouds.
