-Before I joined the Institute for Artificial Intelligence, I studied Computer Science at Technische Universität München, where I received my Master's degree in 2010 (with distinction). In 2011 I started my PhD supervised by Prof. Michael Beetz at the //Intelligent Autonomous Systems// group at TUM, which I have finished at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence, University of Bremen with my thesis on the [[http://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:gbv:46-00105882-13|Interpretation of Natural-language Robot Instructions: Probabilistic Knowledge Representation, Learning, and Reasoning]]+Before I joined the Institute for Artificial Intelligence, I studied Computer Science at Technische Universität München, where I received my Master's degree in 2010 (with distinction).

 I'm working on the import of action-specific knowledge from the World Wide Web into the knowledge bases of our mobile robots. In particular, my current research focuses on understanding natural language, in order to enable a robot to autonomously acquire new high-level skills by querying web pages such as eHow.com or wikiHow.com. I'm working on the import of action-specific knowledge from the World Wide Web into the knowledge bases of our mobile robots.

-Knowledge about actions and objects is represented as //Probabilistic Robot Action Cores (PRAC)//, which can be thought of generic event patterns that enable a robot to infer important information that is missing in an original natural-language instruction. PRAC models are represented in //Markov Logic Networks//, a powerful knowlegde represenation formalism combing first-order logic and probability theory.+Knowledge about actions and objects is represented as //Probabilistic Action Cores (PRAC)//, which can be thought of generic event patterns that enable a robot to infer important information that is missing in an original natural-language instruction.
