Winter 2010 — Kno.e.sis Center

Kno.e.sis hosted an undergraduate Fabian Leuchtner from Germany.

My name is Fabian Leuchtner and I am currently studying Informationswirtschaft (a mix of Business and Computer Science) at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany. In order to write my Bachelor thesis I had the great opportunity to visit the kno.e.sis center of Wright State University. Under supervision of Prof. Dr. Pascal Hitzler I spent three months from November 2009 to January 2010 at WSU. The experiences and benefits I obtained during this time are incredible. Thanks to Prof. Dr. Hitzler's extensive knowledge and the great potential of the kno.e.sis research group I was able to get answers to any issue regarding my thesis and beyond. Furthermore I got a great impression of researching and PhD studies. In addition I experienced the American culture and the life as a student. Besides all these benefits I met many great people in and out of university resulting in deep friendships.
