Short bio
I’m an upcoming Research Assistant Professor at the University of Cambridge opening the group CV4DT (Computer Vision for Digital Twins). I was Research Associate on 3D object reconstruction & semantic segmentation of point clouds at the Photogrammetry & Remote Sensing Chair, Technical University of Munich, where I received summa cum laude PhD in Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing under the mentorship of Prof Thomas H. Kolbe and late Prof Uwe Stilla. A few years back, I obtained my Geodesy and Geoinformatics master’s degree with a major in photogrammetry from Technical University of Munich. I was fortunate to intern and complete my master’s thesis devoted to HD Maps for automated driving at Audi AG and had a previous stint as a geomatics professional in a 3D urban-reconstruction-focused company. Currently, a member of Leonhard Obermeyer Center (LOC), Runder Tisch GIS, TUM Data Innovation Lab and Get Kids into Survey. Cherishing interdisciplinary collaboration with top-notch professors and their labs: Yan Xia Christoph Holst Boris Jutzi Filip Biljecki Daniel Cremers.
Research interests: 3D semantic reconstruction, 3D semantic segmentation, 3D building models, 3D virtual testbeds for automated driving, uncertainties, urban digital twins
