Michal Stary
I build and ship generative models for video, images, and 3D — from training to solving the last-mile research problems that make them ready for production at scale.
I’m an Applied Scientist at Zillow, where I lead video generation and image editing pipelines serving millions of users. Previously, I was a visiting researcher at MIT’s Scene Representation Group (supervised by Prof. Vincent Sitzmann), working on world-consistent video and multi-view diffusion models and sparse 3D reconstruction.
I hold an MSc in Computer Science from TUM (GPA 1.0, top 1%) and I am proudly part of the Technology Management Honors Degree from CDTM.
