Kristoffer Waldow, M.Sc.
Im Januar 2019 schloss Kristoffer Waldow sein Masterstudium in Medientechnologie mit dem Schwerpunkt virtuelle und erweiterte Realität an der TH Köln ab. Derzeit arbeitet er als wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter in Forschung und Lehre und widmet sich weiterhin der Erforschung innovativer Mixed-Reality-Technologien.
Seit 2022 promoviert er kooperativ an der Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) und der Technischen Universität München (TUM). Im Rahmen seiner Promotion untersucht er neue Technologien für Avatare sowie die Erfassung menschlicher Bewegungen und Gebärdensprache. Dabei setzt er auf Sensorfusion und maschinelles Lernen, um diese Konzepte in verschiedenen geförderten Forschungsprojekten weiterzuentwickeln.
