Personal tools

I have been a PhD student at the IAS group at the TU Munich since 2007. Previously, I studied Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the RWTH Aachen, Germany, and Robotics and Embedded Systems at the ENSTA in Paris, France. I spent one year as an intern at the Accenture Technology Labs in Sophia Antipolis, France, where I was working on visual localization and mapping. From February to May 2009, I was a visiting scholar in the Human Sensing Lab at Carnegie Mellon University where I was working with Fernando De la Torre on models of human everyday activities.
