Bio

I joined the Visual Computing & AI Lab as a PhD candidate in 2025. My research interests lie in scene reconstruction and 3D representations. Prior to my PhD, I completed my Master's in Informatics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), where my thesis focused on novel primitive types for 3D reconstruction. I earned my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science from the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH). Homepage

LinPrim: Linear Primitives for Differentiable Volumetric Rendering
Nicolas von Lützow, Matthias Nießner
NeurIPS 2025
We develop a differentiable volumetric rendering framework that uses transparent polyhedral primitives to represent scenes and render them in real-time. The primitives offer a bounded and compact representation that improves performance on specular areas and achieves better depth estimates while remaining compatible with advances developed for 3D Gaussians.
