Lars Michel began studying computer science at the University of Potsdam in 2015. After graduating and obtaining his Bachelor's degree, he did not hesitate to combine this with a Master's degree in Computational Science at the same university. This was completed in 2023 with the award of the Master of Science.

To close gaps in his studies, Lars decided to take a part-time job as a graduate assistant at the Institute of Computer Science at the University of Potsdam in 2022, as his introduction to the BMBF project "Computer Assistance for the Validation and Accreditation of Study Regulations to Improve Studyability" (CAVAS+), where he learned and performed tasks in varying aspects of front-end development. Upon graduation, Lars was promoted from graduate assistant to scientific staff member in January 2024, where he is currently working on the interface between the front and back end of the project.

His research interests include multimedia science fields, including virtual reality (VR), and anything related to order and organization in projects. In his spare time, he does media editing for image, audio and video.
