Florian A. Schiffers

Ph.D. Candidate (CS)

Northwestern University

I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Northwestern University specializing in AI-driven algorithms for Computational Photography, Display and Imaging. I’m mentored by my main advisor Prof. Oliver Cossairt and co-advised by Prof. Aggelos Katsaggelos. My PhD thesis focuses on optimization-based methods in next-generation 3D displays, and I also hold a keen interest in exploring topics in Computer Vision, Inverse Problems, and Medical Imaging.

Before delving into my Ph.D., I earned my Masters in Physics in Erlangen and worked at Siemens Healthineers. During my PhD, I had the opportunity to work with Reality Labs, Meta, where I extensively collaborated with Doug Lanman, Grace Kuo, Felix Heide and Nathan Matsuda to contribute to the evolution of holographic near-eye displays. Additionally, I have had the enriching experience of being a full instructor for several courses at Northwestern.
