I am a visiting student at MIT researching my master thesis on Human-Centered AI, virtual-reality and autonomous driving. I am working with the amazing group at hcai.mit.edu.

Some of the things I am doing here:

• I am studying how pedestrians can be affected by vehicle kinematics when they are crossing a street by using an immersive virtual reality simulation.
• I am researching how deep-reinforcement-learning agents can interact with humans using virtual reality.
• I help TAing 6.S094, 6.S091 and 6.S093 at deeplearning.mit.edu

My research interests include:

• Artificial Intelligence
• Immersive Virtual Reality
• Human Computer Interaction

My home universities and current program:

• I am completing my Masters Degree in Software Engineering in Munich, Germany.
• My program is shared between the Technical University of Munich, the Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich and the University of Augsburg.
