Curriculum Vitae

In January 2014 I joined Siemens Corporate Technology in Munich as a Senior Key Expert Research Scientist. I am associated to the CAMP Chair of Nassir Navab as Guest Researcher, which I previously joined in February 2009 as a leader of the Computer Vision Group . Form June 2006 I was a Senior Researcher at Deutsche Telekom Laboratories Deutsche Telekom Laboratories in Berlin. Before that I was a postdoctoral fellow for one year at Computer Vision Laboratory, EPFL, Switzerland, where I received my PhD in 2005 under supervision of Pascal Fua. My research interests include mode-based Computer Vision, 3D modeling and reconstruction, detection and tracking of rigid and deformable objects including 3D objects and humans.

Research Topics

I am currently involved in conducting research in the following research areas.

  • 3D reconstruction of rigid and deformable surfaces.
  • Real-time 3D object detection and tracking.
  • 3D object(rigid and deformable) detection in depth data.
  • 3D retrieval

Team

My team consists of PhD students, interns and master students. PhD student are mainly financed by Siemens, and are either at Siemens or at TUM. Currently I work and advise/co-advise the following PhD students.

PhD students:
