I am postdoctoral research assistant in the Autonomous Intelligent Systems Lab (Prof. Dr. W. Burgard)

My research interests include perception for robots, scene analysis -- with special emphasys on multimodal object detection, sensor fusion, people detection and tracking.

At the moment, I am a member of two EU funded projects: TAPAS and RADHAR
