Sebastian Koch

Hi! I am a PhD student at University Ulm advised by Timo Ropinski and a Google Student Researcher working closly with Johanna Wald and Federico Tombari. Previously, I have been an industrial PhD Student at the Bosch Center for AI.

My main research interest lies at the intersection of 3D scene understanding and embodied AI, focusing on investigating novel scene representations of real-world environments that include object semantics as well as information about object interactions and their relationships. My work aims to enable robots to navigate and solve tasks more effectively by leveraging a detailed understanding of their environment.

I completed my master's degree in computer science at the University of Tübingen. In my master's thesis, I investigated multi-view and symmetry-aware 6D pose estimation under the guidance of Andreas Geiger and Gerhard Neumann, in collaboration with BCAI. Additionally, I worked as a research assistant in the Cognitive Systems lab, focusing on hardware-efficient remote sensing methods with Andreas Zell. Before that, I pursued my bachelor's degree in computer science at DHBW Stuttgart. I also gained practical experience through multiple internships at Bosch, with focus on perception in robotics and autonomous driving.
