Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Koch is a PhD student and research intern based in Munich with eight years of hands-on experience in computer vision, 3D scene understanding, and robotics-focused perception systems. Currently at Google and pursuing a doctorate at Ulm University under Timo Ropinski, he has driven research on 3D scene graphs and multi-view RGB-D fusion, blending academic rigor with industry-scale experimentation. His background includes applied roles at Bosch and University of Tübingen where he implemented SLAM, embedded object detection, and 6D pose estimation pipelines for real-world systems. He moves fluidly between research and engineering, shipping prototypes and contributing to reproducible research in production-adjacent environments. Notably, his trajectory from a dual-study engineering program into PhD-level research gives him a pragmatic edge in translating theoretical advances into deployable perception modules.
