Document:
I am a post doctoral researcher at the MR&O Lab in AASS since June 2012. In April 2012 I completed my PhD thesis in Computer Science, also at the MR&O Lab at AASS. Before coming to Örebro University, I completed a Bachelors degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and a Masters degree in Smart Systems, both at Jacobs University Bremen.
