Stefan Sosnowski (*1981) is currently postdoc at the Institute for Information-oriented Control, Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany. From 2007 to 2013 he has been research assistant at the Institute for Information-oriented Control and the Institute of Automatic Control Engineering, TUM.
He received his PhD (Dr.-Ing.) with highest distinction from TUM in 2014.
He received the diploma engineer degree (Dipl.-Ing.) in Electrical Engineering in 2007 from the Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany. Stefan's diploma thesis was carried out at the Distributed Robotics Laboratory, MIT, Boston, USA, within the AMOUR (Autonomous Modular Optical Underwater Robot) project.
He received the bachelor of science degree (B.Sc.) in Electrical Engineering in 2005 from the Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany. Stefan's bachelor thesis was carried out at the Institute of Automatic Control Engineering, Technische Universität München, Munich, Germany. His thesis was on human-robot interaction, focusing on synthesizing and displaying emotions.
