Biography

I am now a postdoctoral researcher in the Computer Vision Group at Technical University of Munich (TUM) working with Prof. Daniel Cremers. I am also a research scientist at Munich Center for Machine Learning. I obtained my phd degree from TUM supervised by Prof. Uwe Stilla and Prof. Daniel Cremers, and was a visiting phd student in the Visual Geometry Group (VGG) at University of Oxford working with Dr. João Henriques. My research interests focus on 3D Vision, Localization and Navigation, Robotics, and Autonomous Driving.

I am looking for highly self-motivated and talented Bachelor, Master and PhD students. Feel free to get in touch with me via email If you're interested in collaborating.
