I am a postdoctoral researcher at the Technical University of Munich affiliated with the Learning Systems and Robotics Lab. My research focuses on Bayesian optimization for robot learning, as well as risk-aware and robust reinforcement learning.

During the first part of my PhD, I conducted research at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems as a member of the Intelligent Control Systems Group, led by Prof. Sebastian Trimpe. Later, I relocated with my research group to RWTH Aachen University, where we established the new Institute for Data Science in Mechanical Engineering. Throughout this period, I was associated with the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS), and my PhD was supported by IAV.

Before joining the Max Planck Institute for my master’s thesis and later pursuing my PhD in 2018, I studied Computer Science at the University of Lübeck. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering from BHT Berlin in 2013. Between these degrees, I worked as a full-time Software Engineer in Hamburg.
