Personal Website
Hi, my name is Patrick Richter and I live in Hamburg. On this website, I’d like to share with you some of the things I’ve been working on over the past few years. If any of this interests you, if you’d like to learn more, or if you’d like to collaborate with me on one of these projects, please feel free to contact me (patrick-richter@posteo.de).
As for me, I’m a very idealistic person and believe that everyone should work together to make the world a better place. That’s why I’m so passionate about open-source, nonprofit, and community projects.
Over the course of my life, I’ve started many projects, often with the underlying ambition of creating something great that would leave a lasting mark on world history. The projects I actually ended up completing, however, were mostly the ones where I scaled back my ambitions a bit :)
Nevertheless, I’ve always been fascinated by looking at the big picture, observing how the world around me is changing, and thinking about how new technologies and developments impact our daily lives. I’ve often tried to use my limited human understanding to grasp the deeper connections of the universe, but ultimately had to admit that most fundamental insights into the essence of things are beyond my reach.
Fortunately, however, I am not alone in navigating the cosmic whirlwind of life; rather, I am on a great journey together with you. Even though it is not always easy, I am confident that together we will find the right path.
In this master's thesis, I investigated how physical content can be represented as semantic networks and how such networks can be generated with the help of modern AI tools.
As part of my bachelor thesis, I programmed an interactive web application using JavaScript, C, and WebAssembly, with which particle waves can be simulated in a freely configurable, time-dependent potential.
In a joint project with fellow students, I created a draft concept for a discussion platform based on semantic networks and programmed a demo.
