Timothy Gray is a research associate in the Department of Moving Image Technologies at the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits (IIS), where he works at the intersection of media production and emerging technology, driven by a deep interest in taking foundational research and applying it to real production settings. He is currently completing his PhD, focusing on neural 3D reconstruction methods for capturing real-world locations and integrating them seamlessly into virtual production pipelines.
Timothy began on the creative side of the industry, studying film production and working as a cameraman before earning a Master's in Computer Science at the University of Bath, where he specialised in artificial intelligence. This combination gives him a first-hand understanding of both the creative demands of filmmaking and the technologies reshaping it.
