Prof. Dr. Niels Henze has been a professor at the Chair of Media Informatics since May 2018. In Oldenburg with Susanne Boll. From 2013 to 2018 he was a junior professor for sociocognitive systems at the Institute for Visualization and Interactive Systems at the University of Stuttgart.
Niels Henze differs in the facets of human-computer interaction. Significantly, he assumed predictive skills in interactive and how to handle models that can be used. Other focal points are personal mobile-computer interaction, augmented & virtual reality and the awareness of attention through interactive systems.
Chair of Media Informatics
Media informatics
Human-computer interaction, usability engineering, introduction to media informatics
In the more practical events such as research seminars and practical seminars, machine learning methods are used.
Programming, especially in Python, is an advantage.
Apply modern machine learning techniques (CNNs, RNNs,…)
Because this is expected from computer scientists and computer scientists can apply this ti many current problems.

Tutorials and courses that I gave.
At least I think I understand it better than most who talk about it.
To be able to implement systems that cannot be implemented by other means.
I don’t know what qualifies as a lecturer. Huy Viet Le is now at Apple, Sven Mayer at CMU and we published an article together this year. I am working with Katrin Wolf (Beuth University) on an application for the recognition of gestures with everyday objects.
Basic lecture in the Bachelor of computer science course. Other special events on topics that the respective lecturers consider interesting.
I am not contributing. The goal is unclear to me.
This was no interview.
Mr. Henze, thank you for taking the time to answer these questions. We wish you a nice day!
