Portrait of Jannik Mänzer

Jannik Mänzer

MSc Student, Machine Learning

Hi, I’m Jannik!
I’m a Master’s student in Machine Learning at the University of Tübingen.

I’m interested in world models, and more broadly in how AI systems can develop an inherent understanding of the physical world. I’m curious how models can build meaningful representations of their environment. Specifically, I’d like to learn more about:

  • 3D Vision
  • Generative Modeling
  • Representation Learning
  • Geometric Deep Learning
