I am a PhD candidate at the Cognitive Systems Group at the University of Tübingen in collaboration with Sony AI working on event-based vision for fast robot control. During my PhD, I did an internship at Prophesee, supervised by Dr. Amos Sironi and at Sony AI, supervised by Dr. Raphaela Kreiser and Dr. Naoya Takahashi.
I am passioned about a mix of robotics and computer vision research and industrial/commercial applications. My vision is to develop novel algorithms and make them work on real robots.
Before I started my PhD studies, I worked as a Robotics Engineer for a few years. Previously, I was a Research Assistant at the Robotics and Perception Group continuing the project of my Master thesis. Before that, I was a Research Associate Intern at Disney Research Zurich. I have done my Master thesis at the Robotics and Perception Group, was a Computer Vision & Robotics intern at Pix4D while I was a master student at D-ITET at ETH Zurich focusing on Computer Vision, Robotics and Machine Learning. Before my master studies, I worked at the Research in Orthopedic Computer Science (ROCS) and at the Institute of Biomechanics after I completed my BSc in Electrical Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences of Eastern Switzerland (FHO).

If you have other project ideas for a BSc or MSc thesis in the area of my research interests, please drop me an email. I’m more than happy to discuss such topics with you and supervise interesting projects. You can get the unique opportunity to work with a real robot system and event-based cameras which are still quite scarce among research groups.
