Lorenz Schmidt, M.Sc.

I'm a PhD Student at AudioLabs studying in the cross-section of computer science, learning and communicating machines. As the focus of our group are embedded devices, I'm also interested in building reliable, fast and safe abstractions. If you want to know more, please visit the website of Prof. Dr. Nils Peters. You can find my personal site here.

Interested in a topic or do you want to discuss something, drop me a mail!
