Prof. Dr. Anna Rohrbach

Anna Rohrbach is a W3 Professor at the Technical University of Darmstadt, where she is leading the group on “Multimodal Grounded Learning.” Prior to that, she was a Research Scientist at UC Berkeley; she completed her PhD at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. Anna’s research is at the intersection of vision and language, spanning a variety of problems, such as image and video description, visual grounding, visual question answering, text-to-image synthesis, and multimodal forensics. She is interested in building explainable and compositional models, diagnosing and addressing bias, and developing models that can learn from language advice. Anna became an ELLIS Scholar in October 2024, a selective distinction by the ELLIS Society. She is a recipient of the prestigious €2M LOEWE Start Professorship from the State of Hesse. She also received the DAGM German Pattern Recognition Award in 2023 for her groundbreaking research in multimodal learning.
