Sean Klein is a Research Associate and PhD student at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. He earned his B.Sc. in Biology from the University of Würzburg, conducting his bachelor’s thesis at the Helmholtz Institute for RNA-based Infection Research. He pursued a master’s degree in Bioinformatics at the University of Tübingen and spent a year abroad at the Sapienza University of Rome. During his academic journey, he also gained international experience at universities in Bucharest, Stockholm, and Madrid.

Sean’s master’s thesis involved deep learning, explainable AI, and computer vision for biomarker detection in kidney cancer tissue images, in collaboration with the Hannover Medical School and the Peter L. Reichertz Institute for Medical Informatics. Since June 2024, he has been focused on enhancing the artificial intelligence of Non-Player Characters (NPCs) for more realistic training simulations in Serious Games, as part of the Horizon Europe project B-Prepared. His core research interests include imitation learning, reinforcement learning, and broader methods in machine learning related to learning from human behavior.
