Hey, thanks for stopping by! 👋

I’m a Masters student at the Heinrich-Heine-Universität Düsseldorf and the MPI of sustainable Materials.

My focus lies on solving challenging problems at the intersection of AI & Matrial Science, with the vision to build a Foundational Model able to incorporate all scales of Material Design, from atomistic to processing, eventually building a fully-integrated AI platform for material discovery.

As a scientist, I’m broadly interested in all aspects of machine learning, and particularly in self correcting active learning optimization with foundation models, robust and scalable data-driven systems, and applications to natural and engineering sciences.

My goal is contribute to a more productive industry through automation and thus a sustainable future.

I am also a lecturer at the Heinrich-Heine-University holding a seminar on the foundations of LLMs and their applications twice each semester.

In my spare time, I enjoy doing sports (mostly weights and cross fit), traveling and exploring new places and activities, and the best food spots in Düsseldorf.
