Claudius Korzen

Claudius Korzen is a Lecturer and researcher at the Department of Computer Science, University of Freiburg. He collaborates closely with Prof. Dr. Hannah Bast and has contributed to teaching in courses such as 'Information Retrieval' and 'Programming in C++'. His research focuses on text extraction from PDF documents, information retrieval systems, and machine learning applications in document analysis. He has developed the Icecite research paper management system and conducted benchmark evaluations for text extraction techniques.

Education: Master's thesis on Icecite (2013), supervised projects (e.g., PDF dehyphenation, special character recognition). Research spans layout-based text analysis, algorithm design, and data structure optimization. Active in teaching since 2012, covering algorithmics and data structures at both undergraduate and graduate levels.

Key projects include improving line break handling in PDFs, developing apps for kitchen resource management at the Algorithms and Data Structures chair, and analyzing Parkinson patient movement data through feature extraction. No awards explicitly mentioned.

• Supervised 9 theses/projects since 2013
• Active in teaching support across 8 semesters
• Focus areas: Text mining, document processing, algorithm implementation
