M.Sc. Jens Gebele

I am a PhD student at the University of Würzburg and a research assistant at the University of Applied Sciences in Neu-Ulm. My current research focus is on Neuro-Symbolic AI architectures for analysing facial expressions of emotion, which brings together my interests in AI and human behavior. I hold a Bachelor’s degree (B.Sc.) in Global Business Management from the University of Augsburg, which included an exchange semester in St. Petersburg. Building on that foundation, I pursued a Master’s degree (M.Sc.) in Management & Technology at the Technical University of Munich, specializing in Machine Learning and Finance. During my studies, I had the opportunity to study for one semester at EDHEC in Nice.
