I am a PhD student in the Computer Vision and Multimodal Learning (CVML) group at the University of Tübingen and the Tübingen AI Center, advised by Prof. Dr. Hilde Kühne and co-supervised by Prof. Dr. Andreas Geiger. I am also part of the fabulous Scholar Inbox project, where I now serve as an advisor.

Previously, I was a research engineer in the Autonomous Vision Group (AVG), working on Scholar Inbox. I hold an M.Sc. in Machine Learning from the University of Tübingen.
