I am a Senior Applied Scientist at Microsoft as part of the Turing team working on Copilot.
I obtained my PhD at University of Bonn, working under supervision of Prof. Juergen Gall on Computer Vision and Machine Learning.
I interned at Google Research during fall/winter 2020, working with Rodrigo Benenson and Vittorio Ferrari.
