About me
I am an assistant professor at the University of Siegen and head of the Visual Computing group. I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science in 2023 from the University of Mannheim under the supervision of Prof Dr.-Ing. Margret Keuper, and was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Siegen under the supervision of Prof Dr. Michael Moeller from 2023 to 2025.
Together with Aaron Klein, Arber Zela, Giovanni Zappella and Rhea Sukthanker I also organize the AutoML Seminars as part of the ELLIS units Berlin and Freiburg. I was part of the organization team of the second workshop on neural architecture search @ ICLR 2021, and am part of the organizing team of the first ``learning 2 sense’’ workshop @ NeurIPS 2025
My research mainly focuses on efficient graph representations and embeddings for supervised surrogate models for neural architecture search.
