Carsten Ditzel | Research scientist
I was born in the former German capital Bonn, Germany, in 1986. After my Abitur (High School diploma) in 2005, I worked for one year as a volunteer on the cancer ward of the Asklepios children’s hospital in Sankt Augustin, Germany. Afterwards I studied mechatronic engineering and received the Diploma degree (equivalent to M.Sc. degree) from the University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg, Germany, in 2010. Having discovered my passion for mathematical simulation and numerical optimization, I subsequently enrolled in a computational engineering Masters’s programme at the University of Hanover, Germany. In 2015 I graduated with honors and in 2016 became a research assistant and Ph.D. candidate at the Institute of Measurement, Control and Microtechnology, School of Engineering and Computer Science, at Ulm University. Here my passion and focus of research is in the field of low-level multimodal sensor fusion for the reliable environment perception in adverse weather and compromised environmental circumstances.
