Computer vision researcher at the University of Bonn.
I am interested in deep learning for climate science and remote sensing. During my studies, I specialized in computer vision and understanding of 3D scenes. Currently, I am a PhD student in computer science at the University of Bonn, Germany under a supervision of Prof. Dr. Juergen Gall. I received my Master's degree in geomatics engineering (GEOENGINE) from the University of Stuttgart in 2019, and prior to that my Bachelor's degree in geodesy and topographic engineering from the University of Aleppo in 2015.

The RAINA project aims to develop a foundational model for weather forecasting. The prototype application aims for a precise short-term forecast of temperature, wind, and precipitation, intended to surpass operational models (2024-2025).
Deep generative neural networks for detecting anomalous events in the water cycle (2022-2025).
A Master Thesis at the Institute of Photogrammetry (Ifp), University of Stuttgart (2019). The aim of this project was to explore a semantic segmentation of meshes in an outdoor urban scenario and to make use of PointNet/PointNet++, which are point based deep neural networks applicable to meshes. The implemented pipeline segments meshes semantically including pre-processing, incorporation of LiDAR point cloud with mesh, training and evaluation. The used dataset is a 2.5 D textured mesh covering an urban area of the village Hessigheim in Germany.
A Diploma Thesis at the University of Aleppo (2015). We tackled the problem of digitizing old cadastral plans aiming to improve resource efficiency. We established a pipeline for georeferencing and preprocessing of scanned paper maps in order to use them in a Real-Estate-Agencies database.
Given an initial point on the first railway sleeper, the novel method determines the positions and orientations of the following sleepers and their relevant components. It is mainly based on linear algebra. The data are point clouds derived from mobile laser scanning. I developed the algorithm at intermetric GmbH in the context of the multidisciplinary project Rendsburg High Bridge (2022).
This is an automated inspection of railway’ power line using 3D deep learning and mobile laser scanning. The dataset was collected by intermetric GmbH. It consists of 7 classes and covers a diverse range of railway scenes including tunnels (2021).
This is a fast orthophoto generation from point cloud, implemented using OpenCV and Open3D libraries (2021).
The algorithm computes discrepancies between point cloud (as-built) and 3D CAD model (as-planned) for reliable assuring of correct geometry and change detection in construction sites. I developed the algorithm at intermetric GmbH in the context of Stuttgart 21 project (2021).
This is a heuristic-based algorithm for automated geometric quality assurance of railway platforms (U-Bahn München). The invented method enables the extraction of railway trajectory and its distances to railway platforms. Algorithm developed at intermetric GmbH (2021).
This is an implementation of deep convolutional neural networks for the inspection of construction conditions in tunnels. The input data are orthophotos with submillimeter resolution. The dataset was collected by intermetric GmbH (2020).
