Stein, Tom
Tom grew up in Dülmen, Germany. He studied computer science at TU Dortmund and graduated in 2024 with a master's degree. As part of an Erasmus exchange program, he studied computer science at Leiden University in the Netherlands, with a focus on reinforcement learning and Game AI.
Tom joined pd|z in 2024 to organize the Innovationsprojekt 2024. The class is mandatory for 460 students and makes them solve a complex task assignment in small groups. In 2024, the 88 teams were asked to build an autonomous robot, about the size of a shoebox, capable of delivering Christmas gifts to houses in model size.
Throughout his studies, he started the Fencyboy-Project to solve an issue many livestock farmers face with their electric fences. This got him interested in the topic of product development from both the methodological side and hands-on aspects like design, manufacturing, and business.
In his spare time, he often attends hackathons, meetups, and similar events. Additionally, he mentors people as a volunteer at TechLabs in digital topics like web development and data science.
