Qi Ma

Visiting Doctoral Student

About me:

I am currently a visiting PhD at INSAIT and a Ph.D. student at the Computer Vision Lab (CVL) at ETH Zürich, where I work under the esteemed supervision of Ender Konukoglu and Prof. Luc Van Gool.

Before starting my Ph.D, Qi I had already distinguished myself at ETH, where I was awarded the prestigious ETH Medal for my outstanding master’s thesis. I joined the AMZ racing team as a machine learning researcher. My contributions were pivotal in helping the team secure the first prize in their competition.

My research interests are primarily focused on 3D vision and machine learning, I published papers at top-tier conferences, including CVPR and ICCV.
