Welcome!

I am a researcher at Amazon in Tübingen. Before, I was W3 professor at the University of Würzburg, group leader at the Bernstein Center of Computational Neuroscience at the University of Tübingen and affiliated with the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen as a senior research scientist.

I want to enable computers to understand the physical world around us. I am mostly interested in models that infer semantic and physical properties of visual data.

We have several openings for internship on a number of topics, year round. Please drop me an email if you are interested.
