Daniel Cremers

Short CV

Daniel Cremers studied physics and mathematics at Heidelberg University, Indiana State and Stony Brook. He awarded a doctorate in computer science in 2002 at the University of Mannheim. Following this, he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA. In 2004, he joined Siemens Corporate Research (Princeton) as a member of staff. In 2005, he accepted an appointment to a professorship at the University of Bonn. Professor Cremers has been full professor of computer vision and artificial intelligence at TUM since 2009. He has served on the editorial boards of the International Journal of Computer Vision, IEEE Transactions on Pattern Recognition and Machine Intelligence (until 2014), the SIAM Journal of Imaging Sciences and the Dagstuhl Open Access Series in Informatics (OASIcs).
