Varun Burde, Ph.D. candidate at Czech Technical University in Prague

Varun Burde

I am a Ph.D. candidate at Czech Technical University in Prague, where I am supervised by Dr. Torsten Sattler and co-advised by Dr. Pavel Burget. In addition to my studies, I work as a Graduate Researcher at the Testbed for Industry 4.0, part of the Czech Institute of Informatics, Robotics, and Cybernetics (CIIRC). My research focuses on the intersection of computer vision, robotics, and AI, with a specialization in 3D reconstruction and scene understanding for robotic manipulation. I am interested in developing robust computer vision systems that bridge theoretical research and practical robotics applications.
