Dr.-Ing. Maren Awiszus
Maren Awiszus left the Institut für Informationsverabeitung.
Publications and research activities from the time after the departure are not listed here.

Maren Awiszus studied Electrical Engineering at Leibniz Universität Hannover. In May 2017, she finshed her Master's Degree with her thesis on "Alignment of 3D-Sequences of Facial Expressions" at the Institut für Informationsverarbeitung (TNT). Starting June 2017, she started a job as a research assistant and is working towards her PhD degree at the same Intitute.

Starting 2018, Maren Awiszus' PhD is financially aided by the Caroline Herschel Program.
