About Me
I am a senior researcher at the Institute of Computer Graphics and Vision (ICG), Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz), working in Prof. Friedrich Fraundorfer’s group. Prior to this, I was a post-doc researcher hosted by the division of Robotics, Perception and Learning (RPL), at KTH Royal Institute of Technology. I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Australian National University (ANU), M.Sc.Eng. and B.Eng. degrees from Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU).
My research interests lie in the area of robotics and vision, particularly in Visual Odometry/SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping), Structure from Motion (SfM) and 3D vision. I also have experiences in Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) localization and bathymetry mapping, using optical (camera) and acoustic (multi-beam, side-scan sonar) sensors. At ICG, I primarily focus on projects regarding aerial navigation and scene reconstruction using event cameras, as well as indoor visual tracking and 3D mapping using standard cameras.
When I’m not doing research I enjoy a variety of hobbies, such as soccer, photography and playing with my kid. I am also interested in trying new things :-)
