About me

Education

  • 2014-2018 Bachelor Electrical Engineering, University of applied Science Magdeburg-Stendal, Germany
  • 2018-2020 Master Digital Engineering, Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany
  • since 2020: Researcher / PhD student at the AI-Lab of the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg, Germany

Main Research Interests

  • Find solutions to Combinatorical Optimization problems (as job scheduling, TSP, etc.) using Deep Learning
  • Traffic Light Control (TLC) with Deep Reinforcement Learning and Graph Neural Networks
  • Learn to structure latent spaces by leveraging symmetries in the data domain (Geometric Deep Learning).

Funded Projects

  • During SENECA (2020-2022) we developed a self-learning decision support system for real-time job sequence and machine allocation planning.
  • In PASCAL (2022-2025) we build a proactive smart controller for traffic light control in Magdeburg.
  • AIEngineering (2022-2026) fuses engineering with artifiicial intelligence forming a new practise-oriented Bachelor Study Program.
