Until February 2015 I worked as a Principal scientist at
Honda Research Institute Europe GmbH leading various
research projects in the area of driver assistance (e.g. Attentive Co-Pilot)
with core competencies in image processing for analysis of road traffic scenes
and system architectures for camera-based driver assistance. Before that, I was a member
of the Applied Computer Science group at Bielefeld University working on
personal robots with multi-modal human-machine interaction capabilities.
This involved combining human gesture recognition with object detection and speech
understanding to realize first concepts of gestural understanding.
