Unfotunately not as interesting as the name sounds. Another computer science lecturer at UniversityOfWalesAberystwyth . Known for his annoying lack of an outrageous german accent and for inappropriately decorating lecture slides.
I heard he is a train pornographer.
Most frightening moment... seeing Horst prance around the robot lab in his underwear with little reflective bobbles attached all over his body. Apparently he was testing the 3D motion capture "toy" they'd just bought.#
What's all this shouting, we'll have no trouble here
Drinking games to play in database lectures: 3 fingers everytime he mentions "tuples"
Once fell asleep on the grass by the pond and missed a lecture. The students had seen him, they just "didn't want to disturb him".
