Nikita Araslanov

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Computer Vision Group at TU Munich and a visiting faculty member at Google. My research focuses on semantic and 3D visual inference from video data, aiming to bridge perception and understanding in complex visual scenes. I earned my PhD in Computer Science from TU Darmstadt in the Visual Inference Lab, graduating with highest distinction. I hold a Master's degree in Computer Science from the University of Bonn, where I graduated with distinction in 2016.
