Maria Klodt received her "Vordiplom" degree in Computer Science in 2005 and her "Diplom" degree in Computer Science in 2007 at the University of Bonn. In her diploma thesis, she studied continuous global optimization techniques for Image Segmentation and Multiview 3D Reconstruction. From June 2005 to August 2007 she worked in the Robotics Research Group at the Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (IAIS). From 2007 to 2008 she was a Ph.D. student in the Computer Vision Group at the University of Bonn headed by Professor Daniel Cremers. Since January 2010 she is working in the Computer Vision Group at TUM.
