Comprehensive CV
Marc Hanheide received the Diploma in computer science from the Bielefeld University, Germany, in 2001 and the Ph.D. degree (Dr.-Ing.) also in computer science from Bielefeld University in 2006. In 2001 he joined the Applied Informatics Group (Angewandte Informatik) at the Technical Faculty of Bielefeld University. Until 2002 he worked within a joint industrial project on model-based pose estimation and object recognition. Afterwards he joined the European Union IST project VAMPIRE until 2005 with a focus on wearable cognitive assistance technologies. In his PhD thesis he focused on cognitive ego-vision systems and visual active memories. From 2006 to 2009 he held a position of a senior researcher in the Applied Computer Science Group. He was one responsible researcher for the key experiment 1 ("Home Tour") in the EU cognitive robotics project COGNIRON which ended in 2008. Since 2009 he is a research fellow at the Intelligent Robotics Lab at the university of Birmingham, UK, where he is working in the context of the EU integrated project CogX with a focus on integration and architectures.
Marc Hanheide was and is involved in a number of projects in the context of the CoR-Lab, the Cluster of Exellence CITEC, and the projects C1 and C5 of the collaborative research center 673 (Alignment in communication). In all these projects he researches on robotics, human-robot interaction, interactive computer vision, system architectures for interactive (cognitive) systems, and augmented reality assistance systems. He also has a background in computer vision, including image processing, mosaicing techniques, face recognition, action recognition, and tracking. Marc Hanheide is member of IEEE Computer Society and the euCognition network.
