====  About me ====

I am currently leading the software team at [[https://www.magazino.eu/|Magazino]], a Munich-based startup that develops robotic solutions for intralogistics.

From January 2013 to December 2014 I was a post-doc in the Intelligent Autonomous Systems group at the [[http://ai.uni-bremen.de/|Institute for Artificial Intelligence]]. Before that, I worked on the [[https://dil.atr.jp/ISL/en/research-projects/unr/|Ubiquitous Network Robot]] project at the [[http://www.irc.atr.jp/en|ATR Intelligent Robotics and Communication Laboratories]] in Kyoto, Japan.

In November 2011, I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from TUM for my dissertation entitled [[http://nbn-resolving.de/urn/resolver.pl?urn:nbn:de:bvb:91-diss-20111125-1079930-1-7|Knowledge Processing for Autonomous Robots]]. From February to May 2009, I was a Visiting Scholar in the [[http://humansensing.cs.cmu.edu/|Human Sensing Lab]] at Carnegie Mellon University where I worked with Fernando De la Torre on models of human everyday activities. Previously, I studied Electrical Engineering and Information Technology at RWTH Aachen, Germany and Robotics and Embedded Systems at ENSTA in Paris, France. I spent a year as an intern at Accenture Technology Labs in Sophia Antipolis, France, working on visual localization and mapping. 

==== News, talks and events ====
