Research Experience
- During his Ph.D., Tim continues researching at the intersection between active perception, tactile sensing, and robotic manipulation. He envisions that, similar to children, robots should be able to explore their environment haptically and develop an understanding of it by physical interaction.
Education
- Joined the Intelligent Autonomous Systems lab as a Ph.D. student on November 1st, 2021, pursuing a binational Ph.D. in cooperation with Prof. Liming Chen from École Centrale Lyon. Prior to this, he completed his master's degree in Computer Science at Technische Universität Darmstadt, where he wrote his thesis titled 'Active Inference for Robotic Manipulation' under the supervision of Boris Belousov and Hany Abdulsamad.
Background
- Research Interests: Robotics, Reinforcement Learning, Manipulation, Intrinsic Motivation, Machine Learning. Affiliated with TU Darmstadt's Intelligent Autonomous Systems and LIRIS at Ecole Centrale de Lyon.
