3-months internship at the German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt, DLR). There, I implemented a model-based trajectory planner for quadcopters. I further built a reinforcement learning framework for quadcopter control with successful sim2real transfer.

Master of Science at ETH Zurich in Robotics, Systems and Control. For my master's thesis, I trained and deployed deep learning models on the ANYmal robot at the Robotic Systems Lab. There, I had the pleasure to work with Jonas Frey and Takahiro Miki on risk-sensitive distributional RL for legged locomotion.
2018-2021
Bachelor of Science at TU Darmstadt in computer science. In the final year, I mostly focused on robotics and machine learning. During this time, I conducted two semester projects implementing an efficient chess move generator and AlphaZero and wrote my bachelor's thesis on Distributional RL in Monte-Carlo Tree Search under expert guidance from Carlo D'Eramo and Tuan Dam.
