I studied computer science at the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences/Germany and work as a research assistant and doctoral candidate at the Bielefeld University of Applied Sciences and the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg. My research focuses in particular on the area of multi-robot systems in interaction with intelligent environments. I am an enthusiastic reader, amateur photographer and interested in digital/internet politics and civil rights.
