Biography

I am a PostDoc at UC Berkeley working with Prof. Sergey Levine. I received my PhD in Computer Science (summa cum laude) in 2023 from the Freiburg University supervised by Prof. Dr. Wolfram Burgard. My research focuses on robot learning, to enable robots to intelligently interact with both the physical world and humans, and improve themselves over time. These days, I am particularly interested in how we can build self-improving embodied foundation models that can generalize the same way humans do. My research has been nominated for (and received) several Best Paper Awards, including ICRA and RA-L. Previously, I also spent time at NVIDIA AI interning with Dieter Fox.
