Vincent van der Brugge is a PhD student in AVI, currently working on a TRACETRACE (Toyota Research on Automated Cars in Europe) is a Toyota-funded network of European research labs working on computer vision for automated cars. The TRACE Zurich project is led by Christos Sakaridis. project. He is interested in 3D vision for robotics, particularly in learning powerful 3D priors about our world from ubiquitous, unannotated data using self-supervised learning. For example, he is excited by the idea of developing 3D foundation models from monocular videos such as YouTube content.
He holds an MSc in Robotics and a BSc in Electrical Engineering & Information Technology from ETH Zurich, with prior industry experience at a computer vision startup.
