We recently moved to the University of Siegen. Visit our new page here.

     

    I joined the Data and Web Science Group in April 2017 as a Juniorprofessor. My research interests are Computer Vision and Machine Learning. More specifically, I am interested in problems such as

    • Learning Graph Embeddings and Graph Representations
    • Neural Architecture Search
    • Grouping Problems (in applications such as Image and Motion Segmentation and Multiple Object Tracking)
    • Efficient Solvers for Large Grouping Problems
    • Motion Estimation
    • Image Generation and Deep Fake Detection

     

    During my PhD with Thomas Brox at the University of Freiburg, I focused on the segmentation in volumetric bio-medical image data.
