Research Profile

    I am currently leading "4D and Quantum Vision" group at Max Planck Institute for Informatics, D6 Department. The focus of our team lies on 3D reconstruction and analysis of general deformable scenes, 3D reconstruction of the human body and matching problems on point sets and graphs. We are interested in neural approaches (both supervised and unsupervised), physics-based methods as well as new hardware and sensors (e.g., quantum computers and event cameras).

    I have initiated several workshops at international computer vision conferences and multiple state-of-the-art reports at EUROGRAPHICS (different years). I have also published under the VIA Center affiliation.

    Many research questions at the intersection of computer graphics, computer vision and machine learning involve challenging search problems (e.g., graph matching) or the optimisation of non-convex objectives. For such problems, we develop new algorithmic formulations that can be solved on modern adiabatic quantum annealers or universal quantum computers and investigate which advantages these approaches offer compared to existing classical methods.

    Our research interests include (but are not limited to):
    • 3D Reconstruction and Neural Rendering of Rigid and Non-Rigid Scenes
    • 3D Generative Models
    • Quantum Algorithms for Computer Vision and Graphics
    • Event-based Approaches in Vision and Graphics
