I was born in Bremen as Portuguese/German somewhen in the eighties.
After my studies in computer science at TU-Darmstadt, I extended my stay and did my Ph.D. thesis at Prof. Bernt Schiele's Group Multimodal Interactive Systems. During that time I was affiliated to the interdisciplinary graduate school Topology of Technology, which brought together students from various disciplines. After finishing my PhD I joined the Max-Planck Institute - Computer Vision and Multimodal Computing as postdoctoral researcher. Currently I am senior researcher at AGT (R&D) Group, one of the fastest-growing security and public safety solutions organizations in the world.

My top three leisure activities probably are photography, travelling, and biking. And in the future sailing - hey, I got my boat license now. Depending on the stress level, those three might be replaced by a single activity, which is sleeping.
