Bio
Hi, my name is Katharina. I joined the Visual Computing & AI Lab as a PhD candidate in 2025. I received my M.Sc. in Robotics, Cognition, Intelligence from TUM, where I focused on Machine Learning and Computer Vision. Before that, I earned a B.Eng. in Mechanical Engineering and spent two years as an R&D engineer at Daimler Truck.Research Interest

| GaussianGPT explores autoregressive 3D scene generation by directly predicting sequences of discrete 3D Gaussian tokens. By combining a vector-quantized sparse 3D autoencoder with a causal transformer, it constructs spatial structure and appearance step by step, enabling controllable generation, scene completion, and outpainting. |
