About Me

I’ve obtained my B.Sc. in Vehicle Engineering (2019) at the University of Stuttgart, Germany and my M.Sc. at the Technical University of Munich in Robotics, Cognition, Intelligence. My interests are particularly centred around Robotics, AI and Mixed Reality.

While in the academic sphere, I took on the role of a tutor in Control Theory, imparting knowledge and assisting in making this subject more accessible to fellow students.

In terms of professional experience, my journey has been diverse and enriching. I’ve had the privilege of working in the industry at Porsche and BMW. I conducted research at the esteemed Fraunhofer IPA. I’ve also had the honor conducting research at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems and at the chair of astronautics at TUM.

Outside my academic and professional commitments, my leisure hours are often spent on the tennis court or in the swimming pool. Tennis has been a long-standing passion, and I’ve embraced swimming not just as a hobby but as a competitive endeavor. Over the years, I’ve participated in numerous swimming competitions. My commitment to water safety and serving the community is highlighted by my affiliation with DLRG, where I’ve earned my certification as a lifeguard.
