Academic Achievements
- March 13, 2025: Four papers accepted at the 1st German Robotics Conference; January 17, 2025: Defended Ph.D. thesis on Enhancing Robot Manipulation Skills through Learning.
Research Experience
- Currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the Intelligent Autonomous Systems (IAS) group from TU Darmstadt.
Education
- Ph.D. in Computer Science from TU Darmstadt, advised by Jan Peters.
Background
- Research interests include developing machine learning and reinforcement learning algorithms for robot manipulation. This includes methods that leverage generative models for motion planning and grasping, reinforcement learning methods to solve contact-rich tasks like insertions, or improving policy gradient methods with variance reduction techniques.
