Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWieland Morgenstern is a computer vision specialist and research associate based in Berlin with 13 years of experience at the intersection of robotics, AI, and volumetric video. He leads research on animatable digital humans at Fraunhofer HHI, combining fitted body models and implicit appearance representations (NeRFs) to enable gaze correction and novel-pose synthesis for VR/AR. Previously he built the live 4K VR camera software stack at Orah, shipping real-time stitching, exposure compensation and GPU-accelerated processing for production systems. Comfortable across C++, CUDA, Python and embedded C, he pairs deep algorithmic work with pragmatic engineering—continuous integration, cross-platform builds and performance tuning. Known for tinkering with new languages and techniques, he brings both academic rigor and product-focused delivery to complex perception problems.
