Concerning teaching, all Institute's departments contribute to the training (in the bachelor and master programs) of computer science in intelligent systems.

Andrés Bruhn is a full professor of computer science at the University of Stuttgart where he heads the Computer Vision group at the Institute for Visualization and Interactive Systems (VIS). He received a diploma degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Mannheim, Mannheim, Germany (2001) and a Ph.D. degree in Computer Science from Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany (2006). After working as a postdoctoral researcher (2006-2007) he was associated as an assistant professor with the Mathematical Image Analysis Group at Saarland University, Saarbrücken, Germany (2007-2012). During this time he spent two months as a visiting reasearcher at the University of Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain (2009) and built up an independent research group on Vision and Image Processing within the Cluster of Excellence " Multimodal Computing and Interaction" (2010-2012).

His research interests include various areas in the field of computer vision and image processing such as 2D and 3D motion estimation, stereo reconstruction, shape-from-shading, as well as image and video taking a holistic view om accuracy, efficiency and robustness. In these fields he published over 100 refereed papers with over 12000 citations and an h-index of 42. Andrés Bruhn served as general chair for GCPR 2018, as area chair for ECCV 2024 and on the programme committee of numereous conferences including ICCV, ECCV, CVPR, WACV, BMVC, GCPR and ACCV. Moreover, he reviewed for all major computer vision journals and various international founding organisations. For his sercice to the community, he received multiple Outstanding Reviewer Awards at ECCV, ICCV and ACCV as well as an Outstanding Area Chair Award at ECCV 2024.

His publications received several awards, among them the 2004 Best Paper Award of the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV), the 2006 Olympus Prize (German Pattern Recognition Award) of the German Pattern Recognition Society (DAGM), the 2010 Best Paper Award of the German Conference on Pattern Recognition (GCPR) as well as the 2006 GI Outstanding Dissertation Award of the German Society of Computer Science (GI), the Swiss Computer Science Society (SI), the Austrian Computer Society (OCG) and the German Chapters of the ACM (GChACM). Moreover, he was nominated as one of two national finalists for the 2008 Cor Baayen Award of the European Research Consortium for Informatics and Mathematics (ERCIM). Furthermore, he was awarded the 2014 Koenderink Prize at the European Conference on Computer Vision (ECCV) for fundamental contributions in computer vision.
