In my undergraduate and graduate studies in Mathematics with minors in Computer Science and Engineering Science at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, I completed my diploma and PhD thesis at the chair for Numerical Mathematics, Optimization, and System and Control Theory and Robotics and Embedded Systems. I developed a technique for the optimal placement of multiple cameras in three-dimensional space in the context of safe human-robot cooperation in my doctoral work. I achieved a doctoral and post-doctoral scholarship. The first allowed a five months research stay at the University of Cambridge, UK, where I developed an optimization solver at the Cambridge Image Analysis group. In my post-doctoral work, I collaborate with the Algorithms and Data Structures group on the analysis of vision functions. I contributed to the Image Analysis and Optics of an inspection device for printing presses at EyeC and the Requirements Engineering for a medical device at Euroimmun.

You can also comprehend the optimal camera placement problem as finding an optimal policy to be able to observe most items with several (camera) agents. In that sense, you may also understand my interest in finding an agent policy for applying anti-measures such as masks, vaccines and isolation of people in an educational  corona epidemic simulation. Other educational projects included an online-hybrid house ralley with QR-Codes in the building and some applets for existing software.

In my spare time, I am a passionate amateur photographer, I like travels and sport activities, such as soccer, snowboarding, volleyball, and dancing. Additionally, I have gathered some practical experience in graphics, layout, C++, databases, CAD, and web development.
