Institut für Informationsverarbeitung (TNT)

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.
