Hi! I am a PhD student at the Munich Institute of Robotics and Machine Intelligence (MIRMI) at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) under the supervision of Prof. Markus Ryll. Currently, I am visiting the Robotics Insitute (RI) at Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) advised by Prof. Zachary Manchester.
Before pursuing my doctoral studies, I obtained my MSc. degree in Robotics-Mechatronics at KTH Royal Institute of Technology (Sweden, 2020) and wrote the MSc. Thesis at the robotics department of Bosch Research (Germany, 2020).
My research interests lie at the intersection of robotics, geometry and control. More specifically, aiming to enhance the agility, efficiency and robustness of robotic and autonomous systems, I develop novel methods that unify perception, planning and control in a transparent and understandable manner. For further details, check out my publications!
You can find more about me in an inteview with undergrad students! If you find my work appealing or would like to connect, please get in touch. I am always looking for new colaborations.
I expect to complete my PhD early 2025, and
I am actively seeking (academic/postdoc/industry) job opportunities

SOFTWARE
I believe that open-source code is a major driving force in accelerating research and technological progress overall. To account for this, I always intend to release the code resulting from my work. See here a list of repositories that I have created or contributed to:
l4casadi
Data-Driven Models in Numerical Optimization
A Python package to embed PyTorch models and functions into CasADi. Together with Tim Salzmann, I wrote the fish and NeRF examples.
pydecomp
Python-based Convex Decomposition
A Python package for fast convex decomposition of obstacle-free spaces.
corrgen
Differentiable Collision-Free Parametric Corridor Generation
A differentiable collision-free corridor generator.
gsft
Geometric Slosh-Free Tracking for Robotic Manipulators
A real-time slosh-free tracking method for robotic manipulators.
pfdq
Path-Following with Dual Quaternions
A pose-following framework based on unit dual quaternions for simultaneously controlling the translation and rotation of a rigid body.
I hope that this code paves the ground for other researchers. If you benefit from it, please leave a !
