About

I'm a postdoc in the Computer Vision Group at TU Munich and a visiting faculty at Google. I'm interested in semantic and 3D-based visual inference from video data. Previously, I completed a PhD in the Visual Inference Lab at TU Darmstadt. I obtained my master's in Computer Science from University of Bonn. I also hold a Diploma degree in Mechanical Engineering from Moscow Aviation Institute (specialising in jets).
