Songyou Peng (彭崧猷)

I completed an Erasmus Mundus Masters in Computer Vision and Robotics (VIBOT) with distinction. During the master, I was fortunate to be supervised by Prof. Daniel Cremers at Technical University of Munich for my thesis and work with Prof. Peter Sturm at INRIA Grenoble for two summers. Before this, I obtained a Bachelors in Automation at Xi'an Jiaotong University.

Before my PhD, I was a research engineer at ADSC and A*STAR in Singapore.
