Dominik Fischer grew up in a small village in the Bavarian Forest and developed his passion for computer science at the age of 15. After becoming a software developer and working several years in an internet agency, he decided to enroll at the university to get a deeper understanding of computer science. Besides his studies he got interested in the philosophical questions about life and phenomenology. This interest motivated him to conduct his master thesis towards the topic of machine consciousness. About a year ago he started his research assistant position at the TU Munich and his dissertation about cognitive phenomenons in collectives and their relationships to phenomenology.
