Intro
My name is Manuel and I am very passionate about innovation and entrepreneurship and my focus areas lie in Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Computer Vision. I studied Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) with a BS & MS and spend a semester abroad at the Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore. Additionally, I did a Master in Management at TUM and an Honours Degree in Technology Management at the Center for Digital Technology and Management (CDTM). Currently I am leading the Machine Learning Team at Videa, a MIT affiliated medical AI Startup, revolutionizing the dental industry. In 2017 I was a researcher at the Robotics Lab of the Stanford University in California (Stanford), working on an underwater hand gesture recognition to enable robot-diver interaction. In 2018/2019 I was a resarcher at the Biorobotics Lab (HBL) of the Harvard University (Harvard) working on the segmentation of cardiac ultrasound images.
