I am a PhD student at the Department of Computer Science at the Albert-Ludwigs-University of Freiburg. More precisely, I am working in the research lab for Autonomous Intelligent Systems (mobile robots) headed by Wolfram Burgard.

At the moment, I am a member of the SFB/TR8 Spatial Cognition. My part of this project is concerned with the coordination of heterogenous teams of robots.
