Curriculum Vitae

Paul Gottschaldt is a research assistant in the Adaptive Dynamic Systems (ADS) chair at the Technische Universität Dresden, since September 2022. Before joining the chair, he studied computer science at the Technische Universität Dresden where he received his diploma in 2022.

Projects/co-operation within CeTI you are already involved in:

  • Hardware Acceleration and Embedded Software Development for Robotics inside U3 especially for disassembly in U3 with Sebastian Ebert and Max Pötter
  • Firmware Development for CeTI Glove

What are the main topics or questions that drive your research?

I am interested in making hardware acceleration viable for robotics. FPGAs are promising existing devices that allow us to design energy-efficient, fast domain-specific accelerators, but programming them is quite challenging. My research aims to reduce this burden.

What inspired you to pursue your current field of work?

I’ve always been fascinated by the idea of small helpers that can alleviate monotonous tasks for us humans, and I loved seeing my code interact with the real world. Working with robots in CeTI felt like a natural progression where I could combine these interests.

What excites you most about being part of CeTI?

The interdisciplinary collaboration. Being able to work alongside researchers from so many different fields and backgrounds brings fresh perspectives and creates opportunities for innovation that wouldn’t be possible in a single-discipline environment.

How do you like to recharge or spend your time outside of work?

I like to stay active by working out at the gym or playing football with my local club. To relax, I enjoy reading or playing guitar.
