Curriculum Vitae

Xingcheng Zhou joined the Chair of Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Real-time Systems in 2023 under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil. Alois Christian Knoll. He completed his M.Sc. in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the Technical University of Munich in 2021. Before starting as Research Assistant at TUM, he worked as an Industrial AI Researcher at Siemens.

Open Topics

I am presently seeking self-motivated students to address intriguing problems that have emerged within my research domains. Primary focus centers around Large Language Models, Autonomous Driving, Computer Vision, including Vision Language Models, 3D Environment Perception and Scene Understanding, Domain Adaptation, and related areas. Should you find yourself intrigued by any of the presently accessible topics, please forward me an email containing an up-to-date Curriculum Vitae, and a Transcript of your academic records.
