#WEatDFKI launches season 2

Who are the people behind DFKI's AI research? What personal stories do they have to tell, what are they currently researching, and what AI solution would they most like to use to save the world?

After a successful first season spotlighting five of our outstanding female scientists last year, the #WEatDFKI series is now returning for a second round. Once again, we asked researchers at different locations across Germany to introduce their research department and current projects, and to tell us a little about themselves. We asked them about their strengths, favorite achievements and what career they might have pursued if they weren' t scientists.  

Season 2 of #WEatDFKI features three women and three men from very different areas of DFKI. Communication scientist Dr Berit Blanc researches AI-based technologies in education. Dr Bilal Wehbe is working on the development of underwater robots for environmental and biodiversity monitoring. Scientist and triathlete Nele Brügge is developing AI systems to improve medical care while protecting against attacks. Théo Vincent is passionate about fundamental research in machine learning for intelligent autonomous robotic systems. Janina Schneider is an environmental physicist who coordinates the DFKI4planet competence center. Maxx Richard Rahmann, also a physicist, contributes his knowledge to anti-doping research in sports.  

Starting Thursday, January 16, 2025, we will publish a portrait every week in the following order:
