About me

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Autonomous Intelligent Systems group of the Department of Computer Science at the University of Freiburg in Germany.

My research is focused on addressing the challenges associated with localization and state estimation in urban environments using techniques from computer vision and machine learning, with the overall goal of enabling scalable, lifelong behavior.
