About me
I am an assistant professor at the University of Siegen and head of the Visual Computing group. I recently got the renowned Emmy Noether Programme fund from the German Research Foundation (DFG). This supports my research in Neural Architecture Search and Weight Space Learning. 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, I also organize the AutoML Seminars.
My research mainly focuses on network representations for efficient neural architecture search, as well as designing robust neural networks.
