2005-now

• Started PhD work on neuromorphic vision algorithms as part of the MCCOOP project with the Fraunhofer Geselleschaft on the campus in Birlinghoven. Initially we (that is the project coordinator, Marina Kolesnik, my Colleague Andy Stynen, and I) where at the Institute for Media and Communication (IMK) but that was absorbed into another Institute and just before we moved over to Institute for Applied Information Technology where we are now part of the LIFE group.
