In March 2011, I joined the Computer Vision and Pattern Recognition group at the Technical University of Munich headed by Daniel Cremers. Before that, I did my PhD in the Autonomous Intelligent Systems group of Wolfram Burgard at the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg. I earned my master degree in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Amsterdam.
My goal is to develop novel approaches to computer vision and use them to solve real-world problems in robotics. In particular, I am interested in visual SLAM, 3D reconstruction, object segmentation and object tracking from RGB-D data. As hardware platform, we are currently using two different quadcopters equipped with color and depth cameras as well as accelerometers, gyroscopes and ultra-sound.
I am currently working in the following research problems:
 | RGB-D sensors (Kinect) including SLAM, dense 3D reconstruction, mapping, localization, pose tracking and benchmarking |
 | Quadcopter, including camera-based localization, dense mapping, safe navigation and, when all of this works, flying manipulation |
