I am a Postdoc at the University of British Columbia in the group of Helge Rhodin. Before I was working as a PhD student at the Leibniz University of Hannover from 2015 to 2020. My main research interests are human motion capture and 3D reconstruction. A special focus lies on the application of machine learning techniques such as deep learning, dimensionality reduction and compressed sensing. My current research analyses weakly supervised training of deep neural networks for human pose reconstruction.
Before, I studied Mechatronics at the Leibniz Universität Hannover. During the bachelor studies I focused on robotics and received my B. Sc. in 2012 with a thesis on path planning of autonomous mobile robots. My master thesis Gait Analysis in Monocular Image Sequences using a Morphable Shape Motion Model dealt with 3D reconstruction and animation of human motions.
In 2018 I founded the AI consulting company HEUWA together with a colleague from TNT.
