+  * Motivation letter including previous research experience and research interests.
-    * affordance learning: grasping, rolling, pushing, ...
+  * Transcripts of grades obtained for B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees.
-    * object placement: stacking, dropping, leaning, ...
+  * Certificates for Academic degrees.
-  * Computer Vision:
+  * Names and contact details of 2 referees.
-    * object modeling, recognition and pose tracking using stereo vision and/or point clouds
-    * learning action-relevant features; affordance-driven categorization
-    * human modeling and tracking: hands, face, gaze, markerless human motion capture
-    * action recognition
-All activities involve probabilistic modeling, machine learning, and a strong component of human-robot interaction.
+==== Working environment ====
