Overview:

I am a researcher in robotics which mainly focused on medical use cases over the last couple of years.

In 2012 and 2014, I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees at TU Munich, subsequently. Afterwards, I started as researcher at fortiss with my project “RoboterRöntgen” about the spatial calibration of a robotic C-arm system together with Siemens Healthcare. In 2018, I received my Dr. rer. nat. from the Informatics faculty at TU Munich.

During my PhD studies, I spent a couple of months at CAMPAR lab at Johns Hopkins University.

After a few years in industry and a couple of kids later, I joined AIRob in September 2022 as a PostDoc.

For more information, please check my curriculum vitae.
