I am a Systems Engineer at Zoox, working on the mobility of the future.
Previously, I was a Principal Engineer at Audi of America. In 2022, I finished a PhD at the Technical University of Munich, working at the Chair of Automatic Control Engineering.
My research interest is developing enhanced Model Predictive Control (MPC) methods, especially for application to automated vehicles.
