I Have Moved to the AI Center
I have started a post doctoral research position in the ZEISS Vision Science Lab as part of the industry on campus. I am now located on the ground floor of the AI Center.
I still offer Bachelor and Master thesis options for those who enjoyed lectures and seminars from the HCI group.
