Gayane is a PhD student at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence of the University of Bremen. Her main research interests are concentrated in the area of cognition-enabled robot executives. She is currently actively and passionately involved in the development of CRAM.

Before joining Michael Beetz's group in November 2013, she worked for one year as a research assistant at Kastanienbaum GmbH with Sami Haddadin, in tight collaboration with the Robotics and Mechatronics Center of DLR. There she was programming and maintaining software for a wide range of robotic applications: from embedded software up to high-level robot executives, and from system identification and control up to web interfaces. Before that she has acquired her M.Sc. degree in Informatics with a major in AI and Robotics at the Technical University of Munich. Her Master's thesis consisted of extending CRAM with the notion of spatial relations. Before coming to Germany, she had a number of short-term jobs in the fields of iPhone game development and web development in different types of companies in her homeland. She's got her B.Eng. degree in Informatics with a major in Technology and Organisation of Information Security from the State Engineering University of Armenia.

I am a Phd student at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Bremen. The main focus of my research is to let the robot improve itself by learning from its own experience. I am also the CTO of ADDBeam GmbH & Co.KG, where I am responsible for the product & software development.
