Currently, I am a Project Lead and Research Scientist working on Behavior Prediction for Assisted and Automated Driving at the Bosch Center for Artificial Intelligence. Together with my team, I am solving Human Motion Prediction Problems using Deep Learning, Probabilistic Graphical Models, and Imitation Learning. Prior to that I did my PhD at Bosch and the Autonomous Intelligent Systems Lab at the University of Freiburg, which is headed by Prof. Wolfram Burgard. My current research is focused on learning prediction models in multi-agent systems. Furthermore, I am interested in learning generalizable representations of an experts motivation or goal from observed behavior to enable programming by demonstration in complex, unknown environments.
I received my Bachelor's degree in Mechatronics and Electrical Engineering at the University of Applied Sciences Esslingen and wrote my Bachelor thesis at Daimler on the computation of Flexray clock precisions of new physical network configurations. For my Master's degree, I studied Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at the University of Stuttgart. My interest in the field of machine learning has been aroused at the Institute of Signal Processing and System Theory, where I wrote a study about Speech Emotion Recognition using Hidden Markov Models and my Master's thesis on Active Learning for Image Retrieval.
