My passion for robotics and autonomous driving can be traced back to my childhood and was ignited with a robotics kit by fischertechnik. This inspired me to study computer science at the Leibniz University of Hannover. Recently, I successfully defended my PhD thesis on the topic of “Bounded-Error Visual-LiDAR Odometry on Mobile Robots Under Consideration of Spatiotemporal Uncertainties” (summa cum laude).

Currently, I am a sensor and calibration expert at Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles working on the autonomous vehicle ID.BUZZ AD. My main focus is on the definition of the sensor set, the extrinsic calibration of the sensor set and the consideration/assessment of movements of the sensor set during driving.
