Václav Knapp

I am a high school student at Smíchov Technical High School (SSPS) with a strong focus on Artificial Intelligence (particularly Computer Vision) and Quantum Computing (Ion Traps).

As an external student researcher at Berkeley AI Research (UC Berkeley), I work under the guidance of Tyler Bonnen, Jathusan Rajasegaran, and Neerja Thakkar. My research explores the intersection of AI and neuroscience, and AI’s understanding of the world around us.

In other AI projects, I collaborate with Matyas Bohacek, focusing on synthetic data generation for AI models, AI applications for sign language, and a range of other innovative topics.

In quantum computing, I am mentored by Lukas Slodicka at Palacký University and by Julian Schmidt at Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI) and ETH Zurich ,where my work involves Ion Trap technologies.
