Senior🎓
Top SchoolDanish Nazir is a PhD candidate and Senior Data Scientist with nine years of experience building applied AI systems in computer vision, deep learning, and neural image/video compression. Currently researching at Volkswagen under Jan Piewek and Thorsten Bagdonat, he bridges academic rigor with industry-scale engineering to advance perception and depth-completion methods. His work at DFKI produced state-of-the-art LiDAR depth completion (SemAttNet) and led cross-platform, active-learning object-detection applications, demonstrating strength in multi-modal fusion and attention mechanisms. Prior startup experience as CTO and project lead shows he can productize research—deploying models on AWS/GCP and integrating hardware-software pipelines for smart surveillance. Comfortable teaching and mentoring, he has supported graduate-level deep learning courses while publishing in peer-reviewed venues. Based in Wolfsburg, Germany, he combines practical system delivery with cutting-edge research in neural compression and visual perception.
