Sebastian Bader

Sebastian Bader is a research scientist at the Institute for Visual & Analytic Computing at the University of Rostock, where he contributes to the Chair of Mobile Multimedia Information Systems. His work bridges artificial intelligence, human-computer interaction, and healthcare applications, particularly in assistive technologies.

• Doctoral Degree: Dr. rer. nat. in Neural Symbolic Integration, TU Dresden, 2009 (summa cum laude)

His research interests focus on neuro-symbolic AI, human activity recognition, and intelligent assistive systems for dementia care and neurorehabilitation. He investigates how AI can support clinical interventions, improve patient monitoring, and enhance explainability in medical contexts. His work emphasizes ethical considerations, real-world usability, and integration with sensor and robotic systems.

The recent publications highlight a strong trend in applying AI to healthcare, particularly in modeling patient behavior, evaluating robotic assistance, and developing explainable and ethical AI systems. Topics span from underwater robotics to Alzheimer’s diagnostics, showcasing interdisciplinary expertise.

He supervises Bachelor's and Master's theses on topics such as visualizing uncertainty in ML, semi-automatic test generation using LLMs, and building probabilistic digital shadows of the Port of Rostock.

Sebastian Bader actively collaborates with medical researchers and industry partners, and his projects include "SAMi" (sensor-based activity management for dementia) and "E-BRAiN" (robot-assisted neurorehabilitation). He contributes to both technical AI development and real-world deployment in healthcare environments.
