Hi! I am a 4th year PhD student at the Computer Vision group in Max Planck Institute for Informatics under the supervision of Prof. Bernt Schiele. During the course of my doctoral studies I have been working on the problem of human pose estimation in unconstrained scenes and single-view 3D shape reconstruction. I had the pleasure to do an internship at the Intelligent Systems Lab at Intel working with Alexey Dosovitskiy. I obtained my master’s degree in Visual Computing from the Saarland University.

My keypoint detection algorithm from the DeeperCut paper and its implementation served as the foundation for DeepLabCut, a toolbox for studying motor behavior of animals in the lab setting developed by neuroscientists at the Universities of Tübingen and Harvard. The toolbox gained significant popularity and is now used in hundreds of labs for a variety of tracking tasks. It is discussed in the corresponding Nature Neuroscience paper and was covered in the popular media such as The Harvard Gazette and The Atlantic.
We gave a real-time demonstration of our Multi-person Body Pose Estimation algorithm at ECCV 2016.
