08/2010 to 12/2010:
Senior Algorithm Developer (60% part-time) at OculusAI. Accordingly, KTH activity as a Researcher dropped to (40%). See above schedule for reachability.

01/2007 to 11/2010:
Researcher at the Computational Vision and Active Perception Lab (CVAP) at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm, Sweden. Member of the the research project "PACO-PLUS: Perception, Action and Cognition through Learning of Object-Action Complexes", EU IST-FP6-IP-027657.
Note the BADGr software emerged as open source software from the PACO project.

Since 03/2007:
Ph.D. in Computer Science (Dr.-Ing.) according to the Ph.D. thesis "Symmetriesignaturen für Bildbasierte Anwendungen in der Robotik" (German), English title: "Symmetry Signatures for Image-based Applications in Robotics".

08/2006 to 12/2006:
Researcher of the Safe and Secure Cognitive Systems (SSCS) Group at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI), Bremen, Germany.

06/2004 to 07/2006:
Research Fellow for the research project "Image-based Robot Navigation using Omnidirectional Symmetry Signatures".

12/2001 to 05/2004:
Scientific Assistant of the working group Cognitive Robotics of the Bremen Institute of Safe Systems (BISS) at the University of Bremen, Germany. Member of the the research project "Automatic Recognition of Plans and Intentions of Other Mobile Robots in Competitive, Dynamic Environments" within the DFG priority program "Cooperating Teams of Mobile Robots in Dynamic Environments".

10/1997 to 11/2001:
Student of Applied Computer Science in the Natural Sciences at the Faculty of Technology of the University of Bielefeld, Germany, with second main subject Robotics. Master of Computer Science (Dipl-Inform.) according to the Master's thesis "Methods for Range Estimation and Situation Recognition using an Omnidirectional Vision System for Mobile Robots - Symmetry as a Natural Feature".
