Short Bio
Bastian Leibe is an assistant professor of Computer
Science at RWTH Aachen University, where he is working in the
UMIC Excellence Cluster. He obtained an MS degree in computer
science from Georgia Institute of Technology in 1999 and a
Diplom degree in computer science from the University of
Stuttgart in 2001. From 2001 to 2004, he pursued his
doctoral studies at ETH Zurich under the supervision of
Prof. Bernt Schiele. He received his PhD degree from ETH
Zurich in 2004 with his dissertation on "Interleaved
Object Categorization and Segmentation", for which he was
awarded the ETH Medal. After a one-year post-doc at
University of Darmstadt in 2005, he joined the BIWI
computer vision group at ETH Zurich in 2006, where he
held a post-doc position until July 2008. Bastian's main
research interests include object categorization and
detection, especially in combination with 3D estimation
and tracking, as well as top-down segmentation. He has
been working on the European projects CogVis, CoSy, DIRAC, Hermes, and SCOVIS, and is now principal investigator in the FP7 project EUROPA. Over the
years, he received several awards for his research work,
including the DAGM Main Prize in 2004, the CVPR Best Paper Award in 2007, the DAGM Olympus Prize in 2008, and the ICRA Best Vision Paper Award in 2009. He serves as a program
committee member for the major computer vision conferences
ICCV, ECCV, and CVPR and is regularly reviewing for IEEE
Trans. PAMI, IJCV, and CVIU.
