About
Introduction
I’m Aron (pronouns: he/him), a 2022 graduate of the Bachelor's program in Cognitive Science at Osnabrück. During my broad and interdisciplinary studies, I focused mainly on Computational Linguistics, Machine Learning, and Philosophy. You’ll find reflections of this blend scattered throughout my Portfolio.
Currently, I’m finishing my Master's degree in Design and Computation at UdK and TU Berlin — you can read about my thesis here.
I’m passionate about many of the fields I’ve explored, with a particular fondness for algorithmic challenges, techno-philosophical questions, and the societal issues shaping our (and future) world.
For my studies, I moved to Berlin, where I now share life with some awesome humans and a 3D printer — plus I’m continuously repairing and restoring a very old van.
I dream of one day running my own bar with cultural events and am already working on the perfect recipe for homebrew beer. Experimenting is my thing — whether it’s cooking, coding, or crafting useful objects.
3D printing fascinates me deeply. I love exploring its curious applications and the broader technological landscape it touches. The intersection of technology and everyday life captivates me, and I’m always brainstorming new ways for these spheres to interact.
One of the biggest challenges I see for current and future generations is our environmental crisis — with global waste just one part of it. I’m frustrated by the disconnect: I pay for plastic filament for my printer, yet throw away identical packaging from my food. Worse, recycling systems rarely accept the products I create at home. Plastic waste is a serious problem, and I’m committed to advancing small-scale, decentralized recycling efforts. Right now, I’m looking for opportunities to deepen my knowledge and automate recycling of my large collection of failed prints.
Digitality and social-digital topics have also been recurring themes in my work. I care deeply about digital inclusion and have fun experimenting with edge computing.
In addition to my technical and research interests, I’m dedicated to media didactics — exploring how digital tools and making practices can enrich education. I believe hands-on creation, tinkering, and technology empower learners to engage critically with the digital world. Through workshops and educational projects, I work to integrate making and computational thinking into learning environments, fostering creativity, problem-solving, and digital literacy. I get to live all of this out in my current place of work, the studio einszwovier in the GVB Berlin. Come visit if you wanna have a chat about critical making in education!
