Dr.-Ing. Stella Graßhof
 
Stella Graßhof left the Institut für Informationsverabeitung.
Publications and research activities from the time after the departure are not listed here.

Stella Graßhof studied Computational Life Science at the University of Lübeck. She received her Master of Science degree in March 2012 working on image registration of fluid flows ("Registrierung von Flussdaten" ) at the Institute of Mathematics and Image Computing. Since April 2012 she is working as a research assistant towards her PhD degree at the Institut für Informationsverarbeitung (TNT) at the Leibniz Universität Hannover.
