Angela Dai's research focuses on attaining a 3D understanding of the world around us, capturing and constructing semantically-informed 3D models of real-world environments. This includes 3D reconstruction and semantic understanding from commodity RGB-D sensor data, leveraging generative 3D deep learning towards enabling understanding and interaction with 3D scenes for content creation and virtual or robotic agents.
In addition to Angela Dai, a total of twelve other talented researchers at TUM have been awareded ERC Starting Grants 2022 by the ERC. The European Union provides these research grants to academics early in their careers. These talented individuals submitted their leading-edge research projects to a competition and have now been selected by a high-ranking group of experts.
