My name is Darius Rückert, I am 28 years old, and living in the beautiful city Erlangen (Germany). Since March 2018 I am full-time PhD student at the Visual Computing Lab of the Friedrich Alexander University Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU). My current research topics are 3D reconstruction, optimization, neural rendering, and differentiable rendering.
