About me

I am a researcher at German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI, GmbH). My responsibilities are research in the topic area of Applied Rendering, industrial and grant project leading and acquisition and also finishing my Ph.D. Previously, I was a researcher at Intel Visual Computing Institute of Saarland University and before that a holder of IMPRS-CS (International Max Planck Research School for Computer Science) scholarship working at the Computer Graphics Chair of Saarland University.
