As of June 2012 I am PhD candidate at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence, University of Bremen, under the supervision of Prof. Michael Beetz. Before joining the group, from September 2011 I was a research assistant at the Intelligent Autonomous Systems Group of the Technical University of Munich, focusing on robotic systems and robotic perception in household environments.
