Nan Yang / 杨楠

I'm a senior research scientist at Reality Labs Research, Meta. I pursued my PhD at Technical University of Munich (TUM), supervised by Prof. Daniel Cremers. During my PhD, I was also a senior computer vision engineer at Artisense, a startup co-founded by Prof. Cremers. Prior to my PhD, I obtained my Master’s degree at TUM and my Bachelor’s degree at Beijing University of Posts and Telecommunications.

My research interest is to leverage the power of Deep Neural Networks to overcome the limitations in traditional 3D computer vision and visual SLAM, such as visual odometry, relocalization, and dense mapping.
