Sherry Robinson

As a DAAD Rise awardee, Sherry will assist with research at Technische Universität Bergakademie Freiberg in Germany on a project which focuses on developing an artificial intelligence software agent for use in the healthcare field that can use its history with patients, the current situation, as well as various inputs such as tone of voice to form an empathic response. “I pursued a DAAD award because I find myself drawn to the frontier of computer science. I want to witness discoveries and push the boundaries of our understanding. RISE DAAD is a wonderful opportunity to meet other scientists and learn about their passions and the endless opportunities for knowledge that await in this field of study,” says Sherry. 

The DAAD Research Internship in Science and Engineering (RISE) grant gives students the opportunity assist with research in Germany in science and engineering.
