Professional Summary

My research centers on 3D scene understanding and multimodal perception, with a focus on leveraging vision foundation models for learned representations enabling geometrically precise and semantically rich reasoning about the world in multi-view environments.

Experience

  • 2025 - 2025

    Munich, Germany

    Master Thesis Researcher — Multiview Panoptic Operating Room Segmentation
    Informatics 16, Technical University of Munich
    • Investigated 3D feature lifting using NeRFs and voxel networks for panoptic segmentation.
    • Explored vision foundation models (SAM, DINO, CLIP) for multimodal understanding.
    • Adapted VGGT’s aggregator for spatial understanding, achieving +5% Panoptic Quality (PQ) improvement with the video model and +7% PQ improvement with the multi-view model on MM-OR and 4D-OR datasets.
  • 2024 - 2025

    Munich, Germany

    Intern / Working Student — Deep Learning for Communications
    Huawei Research Center
    • Built an autoencoder FFN (PyTorch) with a model-based decoder for signal covariance estimation, outperforming baseline by ~+7 dB SNR.
    • Built an automated synthetic data generation, model training and evaluation pipeline.
    • Trained a transformer model with unique learnable position embeddings for beamspace phase error estimation achieving similar performance as the PNPC algorithm in significantly lower time.
  • 2024 - 2025

    Munich, Germany

    Research Intern — Semantic Mapping with Quest 3 AR/VR
    Chair of Cognitive Systems, Technical University of Munich
    • Developed a Unity (C#) app for 6-DoF tracking and scene mesh extraction on Quest 3.
    • Integrated ROS# for real-time wireless transfer to master computer for ray tracing from headset pose in the scene mesh with <10 ms latency.
    • Deployed Mask2Former (Detectron2) on the master computer for real-time panoptic segmentation, achieving mesh labeling at 15 Hz throughput using NVIDIA RTX3090.
