✌️ I’m Chris and I like to build stuff.

For my Bachelor’s and Master’s, I studied Cognitive Science in Osnabrück with a focus on machine learning and language processing. It’s crazy how when I started my studies, Neural Networks were not even on the schedule and us students had to start the first course about them to get the ball rolling - by now there are 3 professorships regarding that. Even though I am not sure how much I’ll do in the future that has to do with any of the contents of my studies, I loved every bit of it, and took every chance I got to learn more, taking up to 60 credits per semester. It’s really great that in this course of study, besides the basic ones we could take a huge set of courses to fill our transcript, and I used that chance to, among many others, also do two thirds of a Computer Science degree on the side and followed whatever sounded interesting.

You can also check out my profiles on Github for code, on Thingiverse for 3D-Models, or on Etsy for the physical stuff I am (planning on…) selling. Furthermore, I am also on Xing and LinkedIn. If it’s for something specific, some pages here allow commenting, and I am always happy about issues or PRs on Github!

Master

Focus modules:

Computational Linguistics

Neuroinformatics

Study Project: Product identification from Images and Videos

Winter 2020/21

Spanish B1
Introduction to Technical Computer Science
- An overview from logic gates and boolean algebra over circuit design and automaton theory through programming micro processors. Dealt also with ISA, interfacing, cost efficient design, and other relevant topics. In the process of it, we went from simple gates to a full RISC-V processor, implemented in a simulator. Also dealt with the C programming language.
Accompanying Seminar to the Study Project: Multi-agent communication in a multi-task visual world

Summer 2020

Teaching: Scientific Programming in Python
Decoding Neuronal Activity

Winter 2019/20

The C++ Programming Language (Lecture)
- Introduction to C and C++ programming. Contents included pointer-arithmetic, memory allocation, language properties, std-libraries. Also an overview over common libraries like STL/boost/freeglut was part of the course.
The C++ Programming Language (Internship)
Rule-based models
Introduction to Ethics
Conversational Agents and Speech Interfaces for Learning
Political Theory of Cognitive Science
Time Series Analysis and Forecasting
Ethics and Climate Change

Summer 2019

Teaching: Scientific Programming in Python
Neurodynamics
Introduction to political Philosophy
- This philosophy lecture introduced the different approaches to theory of states, highlighting the difference in their priorities - from Hobbes’ Leviathan to the current philosophies for values such as liberalism and communitarism.
Molecular genetic and neuroendocrine bases of behaviour (Lecture & Seminar)

Winter 2018/19

Quantum Machine Learning
Advanced Algorithms
Spanish A2
Prospects and Risks of Artificial Intelligence
- In this seminar, we discussed both the risks of AI in far-future superintelligence scenarios as put forward by eg. Nick Bostrom, but also the current and concrete dangers such as reward hacking, proliferating biases and our continual dependance on AI.

Summer 2018

Teaching: Scientific programming in Python
Study Project: Product identification from images and videos (Part II)

Winter 2017/18

Study Project: Product identification from images and videos (Part I)
Natural Language Processing
- This seminar dealt with all sub-categories of modern natural language processing, such as sentiment detection, translation, textual entailment, text summarization and much more, as well es the theory of the underlying embeddings.
Selected Topics in Nature-inspired Algorithms
Speech dialogue systems and embodied conversational agents
Operating Systems and Computer Networks
- A dense lecture about two not-so-small topics. In it, we learned about Operating Systems (and the C programming language, while at it) and how they are organized, such how scheduling works, RAM organization, different kinds of kernels, etc. The course was also about computer networks, so we learned about the ISO/OSI model and all of its layers, the different protocols that make up the internet such as DNS and routing protocols, and programmed TCP and UDP Sockets.
