Owli-AI Owli-AI Team
Owli-AI is developed in the THM environment. Here we present the team behind the apps, custom GPTs, and research projects.
Currently listed: 4 team members.
Research and Assistive Systems
Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM), Campus Giessen, MNI
Dr.-Ing. Michael Kreutzer works on embedded systems, computer vision, and assistive systems. In the Owli-AI context, the focus is on assistive technologies and linking research with practical prototypes.
Research, Assistive Computer Vision & AI
Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM), Campus Giessen, MNI
Justine Buss is a master's student in engineering informatics with a focus on artificial intelligence and computer vision. Her bachelor's thesis on assistive computer vision led to the contribution “Open-Vocabulary Annotation for Pedestrian Scene Understanding under Domain Shift”, presented at the ECCV Workshops in 2026. The bachelor's thesis received the THM Karl-Heinz Lust Innovation Prize. In the Owli-AI context, she works on assistive mobility, datasets and practical demonstrators such as Way-Buddy.
Research, Intelligent Environments and Assistive Systems
Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM), Campus Giessen, MNI
Prof. Diethelm Bienhaus works in the field of intelligent environments and assistive systems. In the Owli-AI context, he supports research-oriented development and integration into inclusive teaching and application scenarios.
Research, Computer Vision & Machine Learning
Technische Hochschule Mittelhessen (THM), Campus Giessen, MNI
Prof. Dr.-Ing. Seyed Eghbal Ghobadi is Professor of Computer Vision and Machine Learning at the MNI department of THM. His research focuses on deep learning, Safe AI, advanced driver-assistance systems and AI for cyber-physical systems. Before joining THM, he worked at Opel / General Motors and Opel / PSA / Stellantis on driver-assistance systems, automated driving and AI safety. In the Owli-AI context, he contributes expertise in computer vision, machine learning and safe AI and is a co-author of the ECCV 2026 contribution that grew out of Justine Buss's bachelor's thesis.
