I am a PhD candidate in machine learning, currently pursuing my studies at the University of Basel in Switzerland. My PhD advisor is Prof. Ivan Dokmanić.

I’m currently interning at Google DeepMind in Paris. In the summer 2022, I interned at Google Brain in Zurich.

I received BSc (2016) and MSc (2019) both from Jacobs University Bremen. During my time there, I completed my master’s thesis under the guidance of Prof. Herbert Jaeger.
