I am a Ph.D. candidate at Computer Vision Lab, ETH Zurich supervised by Prof. Luc Van Gool. My current research focuses on multi-sensor scene understanding in adverse weather conditions. Specifically, the focus of my research is on multi-modal fusion for robust semantic understanding of driving scenes. I take part in the EFCL project Sensor Fusion, in which we develop adaptive sensor fusion architectures for high-level visual perception. Before joining the Computer Vision Lab, I recieved an MSc in "Robotics, Systems and Control" and a BSc in "Mechanical Engineering", both at ETH Zurich.
