profile

Francis Engelmann

I am an assistant professor at the University of Lugano (USI) in Switzerland. Previously, I was a postdoc at Stanford University with Prof. Leonidas Guibas and Prof. Jeannette Bohg. Before that I was a visiting researcher with Federico Tombari at Google Zurich, and postdoctoral research fellow at ETH Zurich working with Prof. Marc Pollefeys. I obtained my PhD in the Computer Vision Group of Prof. Dr. Bastian Leibe at RWTH Aachen University and worked at Google X with Martin Bokeloh, Google Research with Kostas Rematas, and Apple in California.
