I am a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of Frankfurt, my current research is focused on cognitive vision systems for transportation, robotics and surveillance, I am one of the founders of the RoboCup-Team "Bembelbots" and the Joint Robotics Lab at the University of Frankfurt. I love open source, making/hacking/3d-printing all kinds of stuff, computer vision, machine learning and electronics.
