Lea Musiolek, M. Sc.
Hi! I am a machine learning researcher with experience in project management, empirical research and robotics. I speak several languages and am a passionate volunteer for climate protection and democracy.
Recent work
Simulating robot pairs
For my PhD, I simulate robots to coordinate in pairs without being explicitly programmed to do so.
Evolved simulations of fish social behavior
As part of my PhD, I use evolution strategies to build neural networks capable of optimally learning and simulating the movements of small freshwater fish.
Volunteering for Zukunftsbilder.net
In my free time, I do proofreading and organizing work for the Zukunftsbilder project by Scientists For Future Germany.
Probabilistic modelling of EEG data
For my master’s thesis, I collected and modelled EEG data from participants reading single words on different topics to examine the neural processing of meaning from language.
