He is both speaker and reviewer in many scientific conferences in this field and co-organizes the ACM Computer Science in Cars Symposium (CSCS) as well as the IEEE IV Workshop on Online Map Validation and Road Model Creation.

Oliver Grau

Oliver Grau works for Intel Labs in Germany on topics of automated driving. He joined Intel as co-director of the Intel-Visual Computing Institute and he worked previously as a Lead Technologist for BBC R&D in London, UK on computer vision projects for innovative media production systems.

Stefan Milz

received his Ph.D. degree in Physics from the Technical University of Munich. He is Managing Director of Spleenlab.ai, a self-founded machine learning company focusing on safety-critical mobility applications (UAV, Automated Driving, Air-Taxis) deploying SLAM, sensor-fusion, perception functions into the real world with regard to saftey standards. He is also a research fellow at the TU-Ilmenau. Stefan Milz is the author and co-author of more than 60 patents and more than 60 publications.

Markus Enzweiler

Markus Enzweiler is a full professor of computer science at Esslingen University of Applied Sciences in Esslingen, Germany. He is interested in visual scene understanding and machine learning with an application towards mobile robotics. He is the author of several scientific papers published in highly regarded journals and conference proceedings, e.g. the widely used Cityscapes dataset and benchmark suite. Prior to his professorship, he has been working with Mercedes-Benz Research & Development in Stuttgart, Germany focusing on camera- and LiDAR-based scene understanding for self-driving cars.

Peter Schlicht

Peter Schlicht studied mathematics with a minor in computer science in Göttingen and received his doctorate in pure mathematics from the University of Leipzig. After a two-year research stay at the Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale (EPFL) in Lausanne (Switzerland), he joined Volkswagen Group Research in 2016 as an AI architect. In 2020, he joined CARIAD as the lead of the competence center on Artificial Intelligence. He is particularly interested in methods for monitoring, robustifying and verifying safety of deep neural networks, as well as raising data and energy efficiency in the development and inference of DNNs in automotive industry.

Joachim Sicking

Joachim Sicking is a senior data scientist at Cariad SE (Volkswagen AG) in Berlin. He develops reliable AI methods for visual perception within the VW-Bosch Alliance for Automated Driving. In particular, he focuses on uncertainty estimation for model self-assessment and failure detection. Prior to this role, Joachim worked as a ML researcher at the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (IAIS). He has a background in physics (M.Sc. from the University of Duisburg-Essen) and received his PhD in computer science from the University of Bonn.

Claus Bahlmann

Dr. Claus Bahlmann is Head of Artificial Intelligence and Principal for Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision with Siemens Mobility. In these roles, he and his team are incubating and executing strategic R&D programs at the intersection of AI and Rail Traffic to be transferred into the Siemens product portfolio. Before joining Siemens Mobility, Claus worked since 2004 as Research Scientist for Siemens Corporate Technology in Princeton, NJ, USA, developing Machine Learning and Computer Vision technology for Mobility, Healthcare, and Security applications. He graduated from University of Freiburg in 2003 with a PhD degree on Machine Learning.
