My name is Cameron Braunstein, and I am a PhD student in Computer Science at Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany. I am supervised by Eddy Ilg and Mariya Toneva, as a member of the first cohort of the Research Training Group Neuroexplicit Models of Language, Vision, and Action. My goal is to develop explainable vision‑language AI models which are well aligned with human cognition.

Prior to my PhD, I recieved my Master's degree in Data Science and Artificial Intelligence from Saarland University in 2023. The research from my Master's thesis, Quantum-Hybrid Stereo Matching With Nonlinear Regularization and Spatial Pyramids was published at the International Conference on 3D Vision 2024. I recieved my Bachelor's degree in Computer Science and Mathematics from Brandeis University in Waltham, Massachusetts in 2019.

I am passionate about tutoring and contributing to my academic community. I have been a teaching assistant for numerous courses. In addition to my Master's thesis, I delivered a talk on Quantum Computing at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. I am currently serving as a PhD student representative for my Research Training Group.

In my spare time, I enjoy classical piano, chess, and studying mathematics. You can find my full CV here.
