Portrait of Daniel Tanneberg, Jan. 2018

Short bio: Dr. Daniel Tanneberg passed his PhD defense on the 3rd of December in 2020. He is now working as senior researcher at the Honda Research Institute in Offenbach, Germany. 

He was co-supervised by Prof. Jan Peters from the Technische Universitaet Darmstadt and Univ.-Prof. Dr. Elmar Rueckert, the head of this lab.

Daniel has joined the Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS) Group at the Technische Universitaet Darmstadt in October 2015 as a Ph.D. Student. His research focused on (biologically-inspired) machine learning for robotics and neuroscience. During his Ph.D., Daniel investigated the applicability and properties of spiking and memory-augmented deep neural networks. His neural networks were applied to robotic as well as to algorithmic tasks. 

With his masters thesis with the title Neural Networks Solve Robot Planning Problems he won the prestigoues Hanns-Voith-Stiftungspreis 2017 ’Digital Solutions’.

Research Interests

  • (Biologically-inspired) Machine Learning, (Memory-augmented) Neural Networks, Deep Learning, (Stochastic) Neural Networks, Lifelong-Learning.
