There are many things worth knowing about studying computer science at RWTH Aachen University. This article presents a collection of tips and tricks regarding specific courses as well as studying computer science in general.
In the course of a seminar on “Selected Topics in Image Processing”, I worked on iPiano, an algorithm for non-convex and non-smooth optimization proposed by Ochs et al.
