About
I am a Research Associate and Ph.D. Candidate at the Hamburg University of Technology, working at the Institute for Data Science Foundations.
My research investigates how intelligent agents acquire knowledge, make decisions, and perceive their surroundings. For this, I currently employ methods of model-based reinforcement learning.
