I am a PhD student at RWTH Aachen University and my research is at the intersection between machine learning and robust control. The main topic of my dissertation is learning probabilistic robust controllers (a.k.a. policies), that are provably robust against uncertainty inherent in learning from data. I am also actively interested in Bayesian optimization in the context of reinforcement learning and controller tuning.
The first part of my PhD took place the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems where I was a member of the Intelligent Control Systems Group lead by Prof. Sebastian Trimpe. In 2020 our research group moved to the RWTH Aachen University where we are in the process of building the new Institute for Data Science in Mechanical Engineering. I am an associated student of the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems IMPRS-IS and my PhD is supported by IAV.
Before joining the Max-Planck Institute for my master thesis and later my PhD in 2018 I studied Computer Science at the University of Lübeck. I obtained my Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering at the BHT Berlin in 2013. In between the two degrees I worked as a full time Software Engineer in Hamburg.
