Katharina Muelling

Katharina Muelling joined the Max-Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in 2007 as an undergraduate student in the Attach:katharina.png Δ Empirical Inference Department, supervised by Jan Peters. At the same time, she studied Bioinformatics at the Eberhard Karls University of Tuebingen (altogether from 2003 to 2009), and graduating with a Diplom-Informatiker degree (German integrated Masters and Bachelor) in 2009. Please see her curriculum vitae for more biographical information.

Katharina became a Ph.D. student in December 2009. Her work focusses on motor control and learning in complex motor tasks such as table tennis. Table tennis is ideal for studying complex motor skills as it requires fast movements, accurate control, adaptation to new parameters and is based on several elemental movements. In this context, she is interested both in human motor control as well as synthetic robotics approaches.
