Videos

A short disclaimer: I usually make my conference videos more of an introduction to the paper rather than a summary of the entire thing, so don’t rely on the video to know what’s in the paper. Again: I am limited by academic formats.

Posters

Here are some Posters from this Project, presented at different Venues and in different stages of work in progress. They relate to the studies I conducted for my PhD project and are pretty.
