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.
