Dominik Bach is Hertz Chair for Artificial Intelligence and Neuroscience at the University of Bonn. His research seeks to exploit the power of artificial intelligence in order to understand biological intelligence, how it is enabled in the central nervous system, and how it fails in neuropsychiatric disorder. His goal is to understand how humans gracefully avoid real threat in their natural environment - and why some humans fear and avoid non-threatening situations.
Sven Behnke is professor for Autonomous Intelligent Systems at the University of Bonn and director of Computer Science - Intelligent Systems and Robotics. His research interests include cognitive robotics, computer vision, and machine learning.
Maren Bennewitz is professor for Computer Science at the University of Bonn and head of the Humanoid Robots Laboratory. The focus of her research lies on robots acting in human environments. Her group develops techniques that allow robots to adapt their behavior to the environment and to the surrounding people thereby exploiting semantic information about objects and information about the activities of users.
Dima Damen is a professor for Computer Vision at the University of Bristol and currently an EPSRC Fellow (2020-2025), focusing her research interests in the automatic understanding of object interactions, actions and activities using wearable visual (and depth) sensors. She has contributed to novel research questions including assessing action completion, skill/expertise determination from video sequences, discovering task-relevant objects, dual-domain and dual-time learning as well as multi-modal fusion using vision, audio and language. She is the project lead for EPIC-KITCHENS, the largest dataset in egocentric vision, with accompanying open challenges.
Anne Driemel is professor for Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Bonn and HCM Bonn Junior Fellow. Her research interests include discrete and computational geometry, algorithms and data structures, and trajectory and time series analysis.
Gianpiero Francesca is AI Technical Manager at Toyota Motor Europe.
Juergen Gall is professor and head of the Computer Vision Group at the University of Bonn. He is spokesperson of the DFG research unit FOR 2535 - Anticipating Human Behavior and his research interests include human pose estimation, video analysis, and forecasting.
Reinhard Klein is professor for Computer Graphics at the University of Bonn and director of the Institute of Computer Science - Visual Computing. The group covers topics in geometry processing, scientific and geospatial visualization, photo-realistic rendering and physics based animation.
Hilde Kuehne is professor and head of the Multimodal Learning Group at the University of Bonn.
Tang Siyu is professor and head of the Computer Vision and Learning Group at ETH Zurich. She studies computational models that enable machines to perceive and analyze human activities from visual input. She leverages machine learning and optimization techniques to build statistical models of humans and their behaviors. Her goal is to advance algorithmic foundations of scalable and reliable human digitalization, enabling a broad class of real-world applications.
