My current research interests lie in the exploration of navigation mechanisms in natural and artificial agents. I am working on navigation in desert ants and robots, especially on the interaction of different mechanisms like path integration and landmark navigation.
You can find a short description on my Project page.
The AntTracker is a first version of a software enabling the automatic analysis of videotaped runs in the field (link is german only).

I am a founding member and the current secretary of the Swiss MD-PhD Association, SMPA.
In 2002 I started AIWiki, a collaborative project dedicated to all aspects of AI. It is designed as a sister site to Bayle Shanks' NeuroWiki.
This was the result of a long lasting fascination for the wiki idea. Some of the wikis I've contributed to over the years are:
When time allows, I am performing at the Theater Mausefalle (Mousetrap Theatre) in Solothurn.
Here are the Plays since 1994 in which I have been involved and some Photos.
