Cristián Llull Torres

Computer Science PhD Student | Computer Engineer & M.Sc.

Research

I am a first-year PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Chile, where I also completed my Master of Science and Bachelor's in Computer Engineering. My work is driven by a passion for learning and research, with a focus on creating practical solutions through technology. I approach challenges with an analytical and persevering mindset, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical research and real-world impact.

My research interests are primarily in the fields of 3D Digital Reconstruction, Computer Vision and Edge AI. I am currently focused on improving 3D reconstruction techniques for cultural heritage using Deep Learning, specifically addressing the geometric evaluation of traditional metrics versus high-frequency surface details.
