Jan-Krueger.net

Hi. My name is Jan Krüger and I’m a student of Knowledge Engineering and Computer Science at Maastricht University, The Netherlands. I currently live in Aachen, Germany. My interests in science lie in psychology, learning (including machine learning), and communication (primarily at a technical level). Other passions of mine include singing (or maybe music in general) and sleeping in. On a more abstract level, I am fascinated about understanding complex logic-based systems (computers, interaction between sub-systems, brains, …) and applying creativity (for example, I would love to write my own book or song). I am a bit of a perfectionist and a visionary and a lot of a procrastinator. Consequently, I always have a large number of exciting projects that have never really left the design phase (at least I am most certainly not alone in this). Fortunately, this is not the case for contract work.

It is one of my dreams to make a real contribution to the world. I do not necessarily plan to make huge changes in the sense of starting a rebellion, throwing down the current status quo and make everything perfect. Some people may be convinced they can do this, but I would not know how to go about it. I will not claim to be knowledgeable enough to understand the world on this large a scale. Instead, I will endeavour to make small contributions in various ways. This website is part of my efforts in that it will attempt to further understanding on what life is all about. I believe not many people actually have a good answer to this question. As far as I’m concerned, my life does have a meaning, but this is not the place to attempt to go into detail, since deep meanings (and I will certainly not try to define this term) are invariably difficult to communicate correctly.

In this sense, I hope you will find this website useful, and I wish all the best to all of us.
