I am a professor of Computer Science as well as Chair of the Department of Computer Science at TU Darmstadt in Germany and lead the Visual Inference Lab. My research interests mainly lie in the areas of computer vision as well as machine learning and are focused on statistical models for problems of visual inference. Particular research interests include semantic scene understanding, image motion estimation, deep learning, probabilistic models of low-level vision, as well as people detection and tracking.

Biography

Stefan Roth received the Diplom degree in Computer Science and Engineering from the University of Mannheim, Germany in 2001. In 2003 he received the ScM degree in Computer Science from Brown University, and in 2007 the PhD degree in Computer Science from the same institution. Since 2007 he is on the faculty of Computer Science at Technische Universität Darmstadt, Germany (Juniorprofessor 2007-2013, Professor since 2013). His research interests include probabilistic and statistical approaches to image modeling, motion estimation and tracking, as well as object recognition and scene understanding. He received several awards, including honorable mentions for the Marr Prize at ICCV 2005 (with M. Black) and ICCV 2013 (with C. Vogel and K. Schindler), the Olympus-Prize 2010 of the German Association for Pattern Recognition (DAGM), and the Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Prize 2012 of the German Research Foundation (DFG). In 2013, he was awarded a starting grant of the European Research Council (ERC). He regularly serves as an area chair for CVPR, ICCV, and ECCV, and is member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Computer Vision (IJCV), the IEEE Transactions on Pattern Analysis and Machine Intelligence (TPAMI), and PeerJ Computer Science.
