Leander Winters

I'm Leander, a Software Management graduate from Hogeschool PXL, and currently finishing my master's at the Faculty of Engineering Technology of KU Leuven and Hasselt University.

From an early age I wanted to understand how things worked, not just that they did, but why. That curiosity is what eventually led me to engineering. What started as an interest in software gradually expanded through robotics, computer graphics, and the mathematics that connects them all.

Right now I'm particularly drawn to geometric computer vision. I find it fascinating how algorithms like homography estimation, robust model fitting, and pose recovery can extract precise spatial understanding from nothing but pixel values. That's the core of my master's thesis. Alongside that, I follow the rapid evolution of novel rendering techniques with great interest: approaches like 3D Gaussian Splatting that fundamentally rethink how 3D scenes are represented and reconstructed.
