Hi, I’m a PhD candidate at ETH Zurich and the European Space Agency (ESA) specializing in control methods for aerospace and robotics systems at the intersection between optimization, control and machine learning.
👤 About me
My research aims to enhance efficiency in safety-critical systems by combining learning-based control methods and traditional strategies. Outside academia, I love traveling and outdoor sports, such as skiing or kitesurfing.
Feel free to contact me for collaborations, insights, or learning about my research. 🚀
