Marco Schouten

Ciao, I am a PhD student in Computer Science at DTU and a member of the Belongie Lab, advised by Prof Dim Papadopoulos and Prof Serge Belongie.

Previously, I graduated with my Master's degree at KTH Stockholm and my Bachelor's degree at the University of Genoa. I am currently at Adobe Paris as a research scientist intern, working in Prof Prof Tamy Boubekeur's team.

In my free time, I enjoy drawing spending time outdoors, and a good tennis rally.

I am looking for permanent positions starting in spring 2027.

My work focuses on building controllable LLMs for creating and editing 2D and 3D visual content, combining generative models, multimodal reasoning, and agentic tools for computer graphics.
