    Bio

    Self-learning systems have the potential to learn from their own experiences by interacting with their environment. I am interested in how we can use these systems to understand social phenomena and make AI explainable. I focus on how information from the environment is perceived and represented to create the transfer from simulation to reality.
    Before working at Heilbronn University, I studied business informatics and cognitive science and gained experience in various areas of software development.

    Thesis & Projects

    I supervise theses in the following subject areas:

    • Reinforcement Learning (model-free, model-based, hierarchical, world models, ...)
    • Sim-to-Real (building real-time capable systems, generalisation from simulation)
    • Multi-agent settings (interaction between autonomous agents)
    • Knowledge representation (knowledge graphs, RAG systems, representation learning)


    An overview of currently advertised projects can be found on the ZML website. If you have your own ideas, please contact me.
