Research
Check out the projects I'm involved in:
Bachelor Theses / Master Theses / IDP / Guided Research
If you are interested in doing a Bachelor Thesis, Master Thesis, Interdisciplinary Project (IDP) or Guided Research in the field of SLAM, Visual Odometry, 3D Reconstruction, or Sensor fusion, feel free to contact me via email. Please include your recent transcript and a brief CV, so I know a bit about your background and courses taken. Depending on the research project, some experience with C++ and Computer Vision is usually required.
