I am a Professor of Computer Science at the Christian-Albrechts-University (CAU) in Kiel, Germany, where I lead the Visual Computing and Artificial Intelligence (VCAI) group. Prior to joining the Faculty of Engineering at CAU, I was a Senior Research Scientist and manager at Adobe Research, a Software Engineer in the Google AI (Robotics at Google) team and a Visiting Assistant Professor in the Geometry Lab of the Computer Science Department at Stanford University, supported by the MPC-VCC and the SAIL-Toyota Center for AI Research. I received my PhD from the University of Konstanz (Visual Computing Lab), Germany.
