I'm a PhD student in the Emprical Inference Department, supervised by Dieter Büchler and Bernhard Schölkopf. One of our current goals is to improve the table tennis skills of our muscle-based robot arm. I am also very interested in using sim-to-real approaches to make Reinforcement Learning on soft robots more efficient. Before starting my PhD, I studied in Heidelberg and completed my Master's thesis at the MPI in cooperation with Prof. Jan Peters.
