Bio
I am a PhD student @GSU Cologne and research fellow @UniRegensburg.
I explore new ways to assess human physical activity based on small movement sensors placed on the thigh. I studied Sports and Health Sciences in Cologne, Munich and Copenhagen. I enjoy what I do! Until recently, I worked as a visiting researcher at the AUT Human Potential Centre in Auckland, New Zealand.
Three things I like:
Franzbrötchen and Fritz-Kola.
Getting lost in my R and Python code. And finding my way out!
Riding my bike and climbing walls.
Things I am currently working on:
Developing a new approach to estimate energy expenditure during physical activity using thigh-worn accelerometers [IJBNPA - 2024].
Developing a machine learning approach for walking sequence detection and gait event detection during free-living walking using Keras/Python [GitHub].
Validating different existing activity classification algorithms using thigh-worn accelerometers [IJBNPA - 2024 | JPAH - 2024].
Finishing up with my PhD.
