About

I’m Valentin Zacharias, a Post-Doc researcher in Karlsruhe. I work at the FZI and made my PhD in the group of Prof. R. Studer at the institute AIFB at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. I studied computer science and psychology in Berlin and Massachussetts.
My research ranges from the verification and validation of knowledge based systems, over lighweight, low semantic and heuristic techniques for the semantic web to cloud computing and using modern technology for health care.
On this blog you find thoughts and links about developments in AI, the (Semantic) Web and sometimes Computer Science in general. On this blog I express my personal views, I do not speak for FZI or any institution!

You can contact me at "zach" at "fzi.de".
