Wolf Kienzle
Projects
I develop software for computer vision and photography applications. I enjoy C++ and low-level programming and recently wrote this cool plug-in for Visual Studio that lets you view in-memory images while debugging native C++ code.
I'm also involved in a number of research projects around machine learning and computer vision (more info coming soon).
Background
I joined Microsoft in 2008 to work on handwriting recognition algorithms in Windows 7. From 2009 to 2010 I worked on web-scale learning problems in Bing. Before joining Microsoft I worked as Research Scientist in at the Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems. Here's my old homepage.
I received my PhD from the University of Tübingen, Germany. My thesis is about modeling human eye movements.
