Welcome to my page!
Please, let me present myself:
General:
I am 22 years old and currently absolving my sixth semester in Cognitive Science in Tübingen. This quite new program of study includes mathematics, computer science, neuroscience, psychology, linguistic and a little bit of philosophy, whereby the computer science and neuroscience aspects awake my interest most. So I am glad to get some insights into the current research at the Max-Planck-Institute in the department for Biological Cybernetics of Prof. Dr. Heinrich H. Bülthoff as a research assistant and bachelor student in the group under the supervision of and .
Interests:
I like this manifold mixture of various disciplines very much, but for me, the most inspiring fields are artificial intelligence (AI), intelligent and autonomous systems and cognitive modeling. In practice, I love to program and the power of abstraction and hierarchical, modular systems that arises out of some lines of code...
Future perspectives:
I hope to be able to spend my time and energy on interesting scientific projects and questions and to gain ground in science and also some experience in the economy.
- The first project was
(contributing to the )
whereby my job is to program a network communication in order to transmit skeleton data obtained by motion tracking (cybersuit) and to animate an avatar using them online and without post-processing.
- Now, I am writing my bachelor thesis with the working title
'Implementation of learning-based animation controllers for interactive dynamic face studies'
