Markus Braun
Markus Braun received the M.Sc. degree in computer science from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, in 2015. Since then he is working toward the Ph.D. degree at TU Delft, Delft, The Netherlands. He is also currently with Daimler Research and Development in the Environment Perception department, Ulm, Germany. His research interests include machine learning and video analysis for automated driving, with a focus on detection and pose estimation of vulnerable road users.
Sebastian Krebs
Sebastian Krebs received the M.Sc. degree in computer science from the University of Ulm, Germany, in 2016. Since then he is working toward the Ph.D. degree at TU Delft, Delft, The Netherlands. He is also currently with Daimler Research and Development in the Environment Perception department, Ulm, Germany. His research interests include machine learning and video analysis for automated driving, with a focus on vulnerable road user tracking.
Fabian Flohr
Fabian Flohr received the PhD degree in computer science from the University of Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2018. From 2012 to 2022, he has been working with Mercedes-Benz Research & Development in Stuttgart, Germany, where he focused on automated driving and worked as technical manager in the topic Vulnerable Road User (VRU) Protection. In his role he defined and coordinated the strategic and technical vision for the VRU topic across multiple international teams. From 2018-2019 he joined the Intelligent Vehicles Group at TU Delft as a visiting researcher (part-time). Since 2022, he is a full professor for machine learning at the Munich University for Applied Sciences in Munich, Germany, where he leads the Intelligent Vehicles Lab.
Dariu Gavrila
Dariu Gavrila received the Ph.D. degree in computer science from Univ. of Maryland at College Park, USA, in 1996. From 1997 until 2016, he was with Daimler R&D, Ulm, Germany, where he became a Distinguished Scientist. He led the multi-year pedestrian detection research effort at Daimler, which was incorporated in the Mercedes-Benz S-, E-, and C-Class models (2013-2014). He was awarded the Outstanding Application Award 2014 from the IEEE Intelligent Transportation Systems Society, as part of a Daimler team. In 2003, he also became a part-time Professor with Univ. of Amsterdam, in the area of intelligent perception systems. Over the past 20 years, he has focused on visual systems for detecting human presence and activity, with application to intelligent vehicles, smart surveillance, and social robotics. In 2016, he moved to TU Delft, where he since heads the Intelligent Vehicles group as a full-time Professor.
