About Me
I’m a PhD candidate at the Chair for Human-Centered Technologies for Learning at the TUM School of Social Sciences and Technology. My research focuses on advancing Video- and Laser-based Eye-Tracking sensors on the software and signal processing level and optimising setups for different metrics like precision or power efficiency. I primarily work on the VIVA project. (https://www.vivaproject.eu/).
My background is in sensor technology, embedded software, and automotive electronic control units. Before my Master’s at TUM, I already spent a few years working full-time in the automotive industry at ETAS and Bosch Research, and am now excited to move to the cutting edge of research.
