Introduction

Between September 2012 and December 2016 I was a PhD Student in the Computer Graphics Department at MPI Informatik and Saarland University under supervision of Prof. Karol Myszkowski and Prof. Hans-Peter Seidel.
I have defended my PhD thesis Perceptual modeling on stereoscopic 3D on 4th November 2016 and obtained degree Dr.-Ing. with summa cum laude.
In January 2017 I will start as a postdoctoral associate in the Computational Fabrication Group of Prof. Wojciech Matusik at MIT CSAIL.

Research Interests

• Perception issues in rendering with focus on stereoscopic 3D
