Biography

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).
