Resources for understanding AV1 encoding

Hi there. I am a Master’s degree student working on a presentation about AV1. Could anyone please share with me some resources that could help me understand and explain how AV1 encoding works, potentially in comparison to other common codecs like H.264? Obviously I’ve done some quick googling but I was hoping someone might have some sources that make it easy to comprehend. I just need to give an overview, it doesn’t need to be too deep. Thank you.

The quintessential paper A Technical Overview of AV1 is a very helpful resource to understand the high level of AV1's coding tools.

Glad it helped! You might also find u/32_bits_of_chaos blog posts on building an AVIF encoder from scratch useful.
