Dipl.-Inform. Felix Rabe

Since May 2009, I am a PhD-student and research associate of the Artificial Intelligence Group at Bielefeld University. Primarily I am working on the CITEC project "May I guide you" where we extend the virtual human MAX with an episodic memory of previous experienced places and actions to assist novice users in a complex virtual environments.

Apart form my main research in the field of Artificial Intelligence I am also interested in Virtual Reality and Computer Graphics, the art of programming, and the development of useful system tools. I am involved in the enhancement of the AI Group's develop environment and keeping the AI Lab up and running. Outside of the university I play bass guitar in the Funk trio "Broken Amps".
