Through the Master\u2019s scholarship and PhD Fellowship from the Max Planck Institute, I was able to fully focus on my studies and research since the beginning of my Master\u2019s degree. Also, it was easy to connect with other students in my program who had also received the scholarship, which helped a lot at studying. In June 2020 I was awarded with the <a href=\"https:\/\/saarland-informatics-campus.de\/piece-of-news\/zwei-informatikerinnen-der-universitaet-des-saarlandes-gewinnen-frauen-mint-award\/\">Women\u2019s STEM Award of Deutsche Telekom.<\/a><\/p>\n<h4>\u00a0<\/h4>\n<h4><strong>What would you tell prospective students <\/strong><strong>if they are not yet sure whether they should study computer science<\/strong><strong> or whether they should start in Saarbr\u00fccken<\/strong><strong>?<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cI myself was in this position. I did not necessarily want to study computer science but rather design, because I was interested in animation and game design. Because I was unsure about the job opportunities afterwards, I enrolled for computer science, even though I had not chosen the subject at school and also had no prior experience with programming. I started with media informatics at the University of Applied Sciences in Bremen, which helped me a lot! From there on, I wanted to know more details about how games work, how the engines are built, etc. Through a Hiwi position in the research group of Cognitive Neuroinformatics at the University of Bremen, I found my way into research and wrote my bachelor thesis in Machine Learning.<\/p>\n<p>Now at Saarland University I conduct research on animation and human motion modelling for interactive applications in augmented or virtual reality. I find computer science to be tremendously versatile. Whether biology, physics or \u2013 my favorites \u2013 games, movies, art, music, even history \u2013 there\u2019s something for everyone!\u201c<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>What are you doing today and what are your plans for the future?<br \/><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>\u201cI am a PhD student at the \u2018International Max Planck Research School for Computer Science\u2019 here in Saarbr\u00fccken, and researcher in the \u201cAgents and Simulated Reality\u201d department at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI). I am currently working on my own research project called \u201cCarousel\u201d. Together with DFKI and other researchers from Aalto University, University of Napier, Grassroots Art and VivitNet, I teach 3D characters to dance in virtual reality. The goal is for our characters to interact naturally and creatively with people so that our characters learn new movements on their own. We are even funded by the EU as part of Horizon 2020.\u201c<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column_inner][\/et_pb_row_inner][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Short interview with PhD student Noshaba Cheema about her time as a student Philipp Zapf-Schramm, Press and Public Relations 11.04.21 17:15 &nbsp; &nbsp; How have the conditions, people, and institutes atSaarland Informatics Campus influenced your career here? &ldquo;Saarland University has helped me a lot to build new research connections.
