About Me!
Hi! My name’s Cath, although you may find me using otcathatsya online sometimes, which is a
barely disguised embedding of my name in a word from the book series & show Shadow and Bone.
I am a comp sci PhD candidate at Jülich Research Center, Germany, studying somewhere along the intersection of machine learning and comp. neuroscience. Originally from Austria and previously studied in the UK!
I am a member of NEST
and most of my projects are about mapping and designing algorithms for unique hardware. If you are a nerd you may want to check out my scholar page.
Beyond work I am partial to mountains, climbing them, books (once in a blue moon I even review them), travel, languages, politics and games. Big music enthusiast and amateur vinyl collector. I am trying to learn more about paintings.
