Incoming M.Sc. Mathematics in Science and Engineering, TUM · 3D and 4D computer vision

I build computer vision systems that reconstruct moving 3D scenes and estimate when their predictions can be trusted.

My work covers 3D and 4D reconstruction, egocentric vision, multiple-view geometry, Gaussian Splatting, and uncertainty estimation.

Open to computer vision research and engineering roles in Munich, Zurich, and Paris.

Selected work

SE(3) Uncertainty for VGGT completed 2026

A 3D foundation model that says how much to trust the poses it predicts.

Extends VGGT with a separate branch that predicts a full 6x6 camera-pose covariance on the SE(3) manifold, while the backbone and the pose predictor stay frozen. The uncertainty ranks frames by their pose error and matches the structure of the covariance that bundle adjustment computes.

Sole author, BSc thesis. Supervised by Prof. Alessandro Pigati, Bocconi University.

Prosthetic Arm Vision public Sep 2024 – Jun 2025

Checking whether a grasp is possible before the hand closes.

A live pipeline combining object detection, monocular depth, segmentation, hand tracking, and Kalman-filtered 3D state. It feeds a model that judges whether a grasp is feasible from the object's 3D geometry and the user's hand pose, for a prosthetic arm controlled by EEG.

About

My work combines mathematical geometry with practical vision systems, spanning 3D reconstruction, pose uncertainty, medical imaging, open-source computer vision, and real-time perception.
