Biography

Jannik Peters has been a research associate at the Institute for Technologies and Management of Digital Transformation at the University of Wuppertal since September 2020. In his research, Mr. Peters deals with the use of machine learning methods in production engineering applications. His research focuses on the development and investigation of emergent communication methods for autonomous multi-agent systems. Specifically, Mr. Peters investigates the autonomous evolution of language between agents within autonomous cooperative problem scenarios.

Mr. Peters studied mechanical engineering at RWTH Aachen University and spent two research stays at the MIT Media Lab during his studies. In Aachen, he subsequently worked as a research assistant at the Cybernetics Lab IMA & IfU from January 2018 to September 2019, where he conducted various research and development projects on the use of machine learning in an industrial context as well as supervised teaching courses. Most recently, Mr. Peters worked at an American startup developing hardware and software components for innovative 3D printing technologies.
