What is my role within CATALPA?
As an academic researcher in image processing, I combine the image processing with computational linguistics to investigate the possibilities and limitations of automatic handwriting recognition in educational settings for learners and, in particular, improve image preprocessing using artificial intelligence.
Why CATALPA?
With the well-organized, highly networked and creative work environment with modern workplace equipment, I feel supported and well taken care of at CATALPA in my goal of building a complete assessment pipeline from the submission of a handwritten exam to the automatic scoring.

- BSc in Optotechnics and Image Processing at the university of applied science in Darmstadt (2010-2014)
-
- Handwriting recognition, motivated by own ancestry research.
- Neural Networks, a magic cure?
- Image Processing, because we can read much more out of images than we are aware of.

I am currently working in different projects of the professorship "Computational Linguistics".
