Jan-Nico Zaech
Hi, my name is Nico. I’m a PhD student at the Computer Vision Lab of ETH Zürich working with Prof. Luc Van Gool and Dr. Martin Danelljan. My research revolves around bringing quantum computing into computer vision and building vision algorithms for autonomous robotic systems.
Computer Vision for Autonomous System
Autonomous robotic systems are finding their way into our daily lives. My work aims at teaching these systems to understand and predict their environment.
Quantum Computing
Quantum computing has the potential to transform the way we solve inherently hard problems. I am fascinated by bringing this paradigm to the computer vision community.
Biography
I received my M.Sc. in Advanced Signal Processing and Communications Engineering from FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg with highest distinction. During my Master’s thesis I worked at the Johns Hopkins University with Prof. Mathias Unberath on autonomous CT imaging systems and realistic x-ray simulation. Furthermore, I gained research experience in radio astronomy image reconstruction from my involvement with the Square Kilometer Array at Callaghan Innovation New Zealand. On the industry side, I worked with Intel and interned at AWS.
In 2018 I joined the TRACE project at the Computer Vision Lab, where I work with Prof. Luc Van Gool and Dr. Martin Danelljan. Alongside my main project, I serve as the supervisor for the ETH RoboCup team NomadZ and have managed the institute’s latest cluster investment.
