Felix Wimbauer

I am a third-year ELLIS PhD student at the Computer Vision Group co-supervised by Prof. Daniel Cremers (Technical University of Munich) and Prof. Christian Rupprecht (VGG, University of Oxford).
Before that, I finished my M.Sc. in Computer Science at the University of Oxford. During my B.Sc. at TUM, I also spent a semester abroad at the National University of Singapore.

Research

My aim is to develop methods to understand the 3D world from images and videos. Specifically, I work on methods that can be trained with weak or even no supervision. Through this, I hope to enable more wide-spread applications of such methods, and to improve accuracy by training on large, unlabeled datasets.
