Education
  • PhD: MSc student at the Cologne gravity group (Friedrich W. Hehl) from June 1998 to March 2000; PhD student (& brief postdoc) at the Adaptive Systems group, Institut für Neuroinformatik (Werner von Seelen), Ruhr-Universität-Bochum from April 2000 to May 2004.
Background
  • Research interests: at the intersection of AI and robotics, specifically using machine learning, optimization, and AI reasoning to tackle fundamental problems in robotics. Concrete research topics include models and algorithms for physical reasoning, task-and-motion planning (logic-geometric programming), learning heuristics, the planning-as-inference paradigm, algorithms and methods for robotic building construction, and learning to transfer model-based strategies to reactive and adaptive real-world behavior.
Miscellany
  • Personal interests not explicitly listed, but maintains online profiles on Google Scholar, GitHub, LinkedIn, ResearchGate, orcid, and arXiv.
