I am a PhD student at the University of Tübingen, where I am part of the Autonomous Vision Group and supervised by Prof. Andreas Geiger.
Interests: My research interest lies in the intersection of machine learning and robotics, where I am deeply fascinated by autonomous driving. Specifically, I am exploring data-driven simulation and representation learning for vehicle motion planning. My ultimate goal is to contribute to the realization of fully autonomous cars.
Bio: I received my BSc in Bioinformatics in 2021 and my MSc in Computer Science in 2023 (with distinction) at the University of Tübingen. The highlight of my master's education was developing a vehicle motion planner that won the 2023 nuPlan challenge. In 2024, I started my PhD at the Autonomous Vision Group, supervised by Prof. Andreas Geiger, and joined the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems.
