I'd say I combine entrepreneurial spirit with a background in academic research into the application of technology. After completing my Masters Degree in Computer Science and Physics with distinction at the Technische Universität München in 2003, I was selected as a member of the Bavarian Elite-Academy for my MBA where I learnt business administration and management skills in multiple workshops with McKinsey, Roland Berger, Bain&Company and Boston Consulting Group. At the same time I started working on my PhD at the Technische Universität München and Stanford University where I exclusively focused on Natural Language Processing, Artificial Intelligence and the Semantic Web for over four years. My knowledge, insights and experience gained in these academic years as well as over six professional years are now offered to exciting new ventures
