Robert Haase is a group leader and bio-image analyst at the DFG Cluster of Excellence "Physics of Life" TU Dresden. In this conversation Robert and I go over many interesting topics, covering the typical suspects (image analysis, software development, GPU acceleration) as well as some other technical and not so technical topics.
