Bio

I am a doctoral student in the Computer Vision and Machine Learning group of the Institute for Numerical Simulation (University of Bonn) under the supervision of Prof. Cristian Sminchisescu. As part of DFH-UFA I have received a Diplome d'ingenieur from the Institut National de Sciences Appliquees de Lyon and a german Diplom fur Informatik from the University of Karlsruhe. My master thesis was on program verification under the supervision of prof. Peter Schmitt and was concluded as part of an Interact Scholarship while at School of Computer Science, Carnegie Mellon University in prof. Edmund M. Clarke Jr.'s group.

Interests

At the moment I am looking into latent variable models, dimensionality reduction and related methods, as well as their applications in computer vision problems.
