9 months, Jan 2017 - Sep 2017
Student Research Assistant
Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems
As part of my master thesis, I used deep generative models to learn shape priors and perform shape completion in point clouds. Additionally, I worked on KITTI's 3D object detection benchmark, see http://www.cvlibs.net/datasets/kitti/eval_3dobject.php.
Responsible for the conception and implementation of a web-based working plan for a medium-sized company. This greatly benefits my software engineering and project management skills.
3 months, Jul 2016 - Sep 2016
Software Engineering Intern
Microsoft Ireland
In the Office Marketplace Experience Team, I worked on Centralized Deployment allowing administrators to distribute Office Add-Ins within organizations. The experience improved my software engineering and communication skills and taught me to continuously reflect and learn.
Development of an experimental prototype to evaluate deep learning techniques for pedestrian detection. I got first-hand insights on advanced driver assistance systems, their requirements and the problems faced during development.
11 months, May 2015 - Mar 2016
Student Researcher
Computer Vision Group, RWTH Aachen University
Starting with the results from my bachelor thesis, published at GCPR 2015, I worked towards a more comprehensive comparison of recent superpixel algorithms. I improved my academic writing and presentation skills and learned to value reproducible research.
11 months, May 2015 - Mar 2016
Research Scientist
Fyusion Inc.
I developed experimental prototypes tackling various computer vision problems including line segment and keypoint tracking, statistical clustering and pedestrian detection. By working from home, I learned to communicate results and problems effectively and self-organize my work.
