I am a computer vision researcher focused on 3D perception. I recently completed my M.Sc. in
Data Engineering and Analytics
at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), fully funded by DAAD.
My master's thesis on 3D object detection using Gaussian Splatting, written in the Computer Vision Group led by Prof. Daniel Cremers,
led to GaussianDet3D, which received the Best Paper Award (1st Prize) at the CVPR 2026 DriveX Workshop.
Alongside my studies, I worked as a Computer Vision Student Researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems (IKS), focusing on multimodal 3D perception, sensor fusion, and robust real-time person detection for robotics, and as a Data Scientist at Infineon Technologies.
I hold a B.S. in Computer Science from the American University of Beirut (AUB), fully funded through the
Tomorrow's Leaders Program, including a semester abroad at the University of Pennsylvania.
