Hi, I’m a PhD student at ELLIS Institute Tübingen and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS), where I am advised by Rediet Abebe.

My research focuses on AI alignment, continous learning and distillation. More specifically, I’m asking how continous knowledge & value transfer (AI-AI, Human-AI) works and can be improved.

I hold a B.Eng. and a M.Sc. in Computer Science from TU Munich, and completed my Master’s thesis at Stanford University under the supervision of Sanmi Koyejo (Stanford Trustworthy AI Research (STAIR) Lab, Stanford Human-Centered AI). Before pursuing my graduate studies, I worked as an R&D Engineer at Mercedes-Benz. There, I was part of the special projects team that developed the Vision EQXX, a record-breaking electric concept car that achieved over 1,000 km on a single charge.
