I have studied electrical engineering and information technology at the Technical University of Munich and subsequently completed a doctorate at the Center for Sensorimotor Systems at LMU Munich, where I focused in particular on the analysis and modeling of sensorimotor systems. After my scientific activities, I worked for three years as a functional software specialist in the development of autonomous driving at BMW Group Munich. As a result, I have a deep understanding of the requirements for a development-accompanying simulation environment and human behavior models.
