Marcel Germann

Within five years I spent all together one year at Stiftung Risiko-Dialog. This gave me the opportunity to broaden my perspective on research and technical developement. I could learn a lot about the importance of so called soft factors like risk perception as well as about the methods of risk communications and dialogues.

The research environment of MERL is linked to MIT and Harvard through people and collaborations. In my internship at MERL, I contributed to research and publications on automatic head pose and object pose estimation.

During my Ph.D. I had the chance to do research in the exciting intersection of computer vision (scene reconstruction, body pose estimation, etc.) and computer graphics (rendering artificial views, morphing, etc.). As a collaboration with LiberoVision, these projects were all targeted to industry.
