About Me

Background

I studied Computer Science at RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau (formerly: TU Kaiserslautern) with majors in Artificial Intelligence and Software Engineering. In 2021, I joined the Smart Data and Knowledge Services Group at the DFKI in Kaiserslautern as a student researcher. Currently, I work at the DFKI as a researcher and am a PhD student affilliated with the RPTU University Kaiserslautern-Landau.
