Dr. rer. nat. Christian Werner Becker-Asano
Christian Becker-Asano received his doctor's degree (Dr. rer. nat.) from the University of Bielefeld in 2008, for his work on affect simulation for agents with believable interactivity (WASABI architecture), which he applied to the articulated communicator Max.
He was a Ph.D. student and research assistant in the Artificial Intelligence Group at the University of Bielefeld, Faculty of Technology, and a Pre-Doctoral Fellow of the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) during a three month visit in 2005 at the National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo. See this article for videos.
He applied his experience in Affective Computing to the humanoid robots and androids of the Intelligent Robotics and Communication Labs at ATR in Kyoto, Japan, under the guidance of Prof. Hiroshi Ishiguro as a post-doctoral fellow of JSPS and Alexander von Humboldt (AvH) foundation. See this article for videos.
He was supported by a return fellowship of the AvH foundation from July 2010 until June 2011 and continues his research at the Research Group on the Foundations of Artificial Intelligence at University of Freiburg in Germany together with Prof. Dr. Bernhard Nebel. From October 2010 until July 2011 he was an affiliated Junior Fellow at the Freiburg Institute for Advanced Studies (FRIAS) and joined the Interdisciplinary Research Group "Coping with Emergencies". Since 2012, he holds the position of a Lecturer (akad. Rat. auf Zeit) in the Research Group on the Foundations of AI.
He also has the following additional profiles on the web: Google+, XING, LinkedIn, GoogleScholar, YouTube. Anyhow, the most comprehensive and up-to-date information can be found here on these pages.

Although the source code of WASABI is available here as well, I decided to make it easy for all of you, who are not interested to compile from the sources. You may download the libraries together with the executable and the configuration files in one package below. (Use a program like "HashMyFiles" to check the hashes.)

WASABI's core and WASABI's GUI under LGPL on GitHub
Hello folks,
I am proud to announce that Version 1.0 of the core of WASABI, which is called "WASABIEngine", is now publicly available at GitHub.
The GUI part "WASABIQtGui" is now available as well. For collaboration purposes I moved both repositories to the "organization" account CBA2011 on GitHub: https://github.com/CBA2011
