About

I studied computer science at University of Bremen and obtained my Diplom degree (equiv. M.Eng.) in 2014 from University of Bremen, Germany. My research interest consists of knowledge processing and representation for robots, knowledge-enabled perception and knowledge-enabled robot control programs.
