Digital Solutions Integration
We focus on embedding cutting-edge AI and complementary digital technologies throughout the entire food value chain for optimizing real-time, hyperlocal agri-interventions for enhanced efficiency.
Knowledge-sharing
Facilitating the exchange of best practices, research findings, and insights to build collective understanding and expertise in digital agriculture, closed-loop agroproduction platforms and food systems.
Synergistic Partnerships
Building and fostering collaborative relationships between diverse stakeholders to drive innovation for mixed food models and amplify impact across the sector.
Proof-of-Concept
Developing and testing innovative AI applications in real-world scenarios to demonstrate their feasibility and potential for scalable solutions for food science and Agricommons platforms.
Sebastian Bosse is head of the Interactive & Cognitive Systems group at Fraunhofer Heinrich Hertz Institute (HHI), Berlin, Germany. He studied electrical engineering and information technology at RWTH Aachen University, Germany, and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia, Barcelona, Spain. Sebastian received the Dr.-Ing. degree in computer science (with highest distinction) from the Technical University Berlin in 2018.
During his studies, he was a visiting researcher at Siemens Corporate Research, Princeton, USA. In 2014, Sebastian was a guest scientist in the Stanford Vision and Neuro-Development Lab (SVNDL) at Stanford University, USA.
After 10 years as a research engineer working in the Image & Video Compression group and later in the Machine Learning group, he founded the research group on Interactive & Cognitive Systems at Fraunhofer HHI in 2020 that he has headed since.
Sebastian is a lecturer at the German University in Cairo. He is on the board of the Video Quality Expert Group (VQEG) and on the advisory board of the Interational AIQT Foundation. Sebastian is an affiliate member of VISTA, York University, Toronto, and serves as an associate editor for the IEEE Transactions on Image Processing. Since 2021 he has been appointed a chair for the ITU focus group on Artificial Intelligence for Agriculture.
His current research interests include the modelling of perception and cognition, machine learning, computer vision, and human-machine interaction over a wide field of applications ranging from multimedia and augmented reality, through medicine to agriculture and industrial production.
