About Me
Ever since I remember, solving complex problems fascinated me. My interest in mathematics, mechanics, and informatics led me to my bachelor's studies in Mechatronics and Information Technology. When I learned about robotics, I fell in love with its versatility, complexity and challenges. That's why I shifted my focus to software development, chose my master's program Robotics, Cognition, Intelligence, and relocated to Munich.
At the same time, I started to work in the start-up company Agile Robots to get hands-on experience. Here, I also completed my master's thesis to enable robotic grasping by combining visual servo control with deep learning. Today, I am working as a PhD candidate in the Mobile Robotics Lab at the Technical University of Munich/ ETH Zürich under the supervision of Prof. Stefan Leutenegger. My research evolves around event-based vision and its opportunities for robot control, funded by the Munich Center for Machine Learning.
