About

Welcome! I am Principal Scientist at the Microsoft Mixed Reality & AI Lab in Zürich. Prior to joining Microsoft, I obtained my PhD in Computer Science as part of the Computer Vision and Geometry Group at ETH Zürich, where I was advised by Marc Pollefeys and Jan-Michael Frahm. Before, I received my MSc from UNC Chapel Hill and my BSc from TU Munich.

Research

My main research interest lies in image-based mapping and localization. More broadly, I am interested in computer vision, geometry, structure-from-motion, (multi-view) stereo, optimization, machine learning, and image processing. You can find a complete and up-to-date list of my publications on Google Scholar or further below.

Open Source

As part of my research, I developed the open-source software COLMAP - an end-to-end, general-purpose image-based 3D reconstruction software that is widely used in academia and industry. Over the years, I also contributed to a number of other scientific open source projects, including scikit-image, scikit-learn, NumPy, SciPy, etc. Lately, I don't have as much time as I would like to spend on open source software anymore, but you can find most of my activities on GitHub.
