PhD Candidate in AI and Robotics

About Me

I am a PhD Candidate at the BMW AI Robotics Lab in collaboration with TU-Eindhoven. My research focuses on Multi-Modal Perception for Robots in dynamic, cluttered environments, Human-Robot and Human-Vehicle interaction.

With a background in AI for robotics, reinforcement learning, and control engineering, I have worked on projects involving autonomous systems, robotic perception, and decision-making. My experience includes developing Force-Driven validation systems for autonomous aircraft testing, reinforcement learning for quadruped robots, and actuated platforms for drone stability testing.
