More about SilenceAI

The idea

Explore how AI could support communication between people who use sign language and people who do not.

The journey

Development and presentation with the team at GROW in 2025/26, from shaping the idea to pitching in the final.

The focus

Connecting a technical idea with an accessibility challenge and communicating it in an entrepreneurial setting.

Background

Computer science at KIT.
Curiosity beyond it.

My interests meet where technical problems become human ones. Through programming competitions, student projects and talks about AI in education, I have learned to enjoy both working through a difficult idea and making it understandable to someone else.

Outside of code, you’ll find me exploring startup ideas, getting involved in student life, training calisthenics or heading out for a hike.
