I'm a Ph.D. student with Prof. Wolfram Burgard in the Autonomous Intelligent Systems (AIS) group at Freiburg University. My research topics cover robot navigation and robot-people interaction, I'm also interested in Neuroinformatics, machine learning and computer vision.
If you're interested in my activities concerning music, photography and the likes, please see my private website.
