Marcel Plocher

I am a research assistant at the Autonomous Vision Group in Tübingen, where I work on generative modelling together with Gege Gao. In parallel, I work part-time as a software engineer at Maschinenfabrik Lauffer.

I received my M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Tübingen, where I completed my master's thesis on generative modelling and representation learning supervised by Andreas Geiger. Prior to that, I received my B.Eng. in Electrical Engineering from the Duale Hochschule Baden-Württemberg in cooperation with Maschinenfabrik Lauffer in 2022.
