Curriculum Vitae

Florian Walter received his Master’s degree in informatics with high distinction from Technische Universität München. During his Master studies, he completed an internship in the automotive industry and was a visiting student researcher in the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory at Stanford University where he worked in the field of online trajectory generation for robotics. In August 2014, Florian joined the HBP SP10 Neurorobotics research group as research assistant where he is now working in the field of neurobiological learning methods for robotics.
