Dr. Gabriele Peters

Gabriele Peters studied mathematics (minor subject psychology) at the Ruhr-Universität Bochum where she graduated in 1996. She worked on her PhD-thesis about the perception of 3D-objects in Prof. von der Malsburg's Systems Biophysics group at the Institut für Neuroinformatik. In 2002 she received a doctoral degree (Dr. rer. nat.) from the Technische Fakultät of the Universität Bielefeld.

Since October 2001 she holds a position as postdoc in Prof. Müller's Graphical Systems group at the Universität Dortmund where she directs the DFG-project "Dynamisches Lernen zur geometrischen und graphischen Objekterfassung" since 2005. The aim of the project is the development of an intelligent 3d-scanner, which autonomously learns to scan an object depending on different applications in computer vison and computer graphics. For solutions general principles of self-organization, learning in real time, emergence, and adaption to the environment are taken into account.

In 2003 the Rudolf Chaudoire-Award of the Universität Dortmund and the Rudolf Chaudoire-Stiftung was awarded to Gabriele Peters. This allowed her two stays in Prof. Perona's Computational Vision Lab at the California Institute of Technology in Pasadena as visiting professor in 2004 and 2005 (see project web page).

She is reviewer and member of program committees of several international conferences. Since 2003 she is an elected member of the presidency of the German Association for Computer Science (GI) and a member of the special interest groups for Artificial Intelligence and Graphical Systems of the GI. In addition, she takes part in the JOY-jury (Junior Of The Year), an initiative of the city of Dortmund economy promotion.
