At ETH Zurich, Siyu Tang has found the ideal environment in which she can make a difference that goes beyond scientific knowledge. (Photograph: ETH Zurich / Nicola Pitaro) - Autonomous virtual humans that move and behave naturally are Siyu Tang's vision. One area from which the computer scientist draws inspiration are our behavioural patterns. Collaboration with architects and surgeons provides further input - and it also reveals the enormous potential of virtual people. When she is collaborating with ETH Zurich architecture professors Fabio Gramazio and Matthias Kohler on the F light Assembled Architecture (FAA) Revisited project at the Guggenheim Museum Bilbao , Siyu Tang - who leads the Computer Vision and Learning Group at the ETH Institute for Visual Computing - is able to reunite two great fascinations from her youth: "When deciding on a course of study, I had to choose between architecture and computer science. Being a computer scientist at ETH Zurich means I can enjoy interdisciplinary collaboration with world-class architects. That's a perfect combination for me." - Together with luminaries from other fields .
