Since I graduated from Ecole 42 programming school, I have been involved in many engineering projects: from AI-based facial recognition authentication system to programming and bringing scientific CubeSat satellites to space. Equipped with strong foundation in software engineering, electronics, maker skills, and passion for complex systems, math & engineering, I followed my drive to study Robotics & AI. Currently I am in my final semester as a Bachelor student in Austria.
Aside from studies, I am actively involved in Robotics research. My interests lie in Robotic Manipulation, Tactile Sensing, Haptics, Representation Learning, applied multi-modal Machine Learning in sensing and perception, Human-Robot Interaction and Bio-Inspired Mechatronics.
I am the leader of the RGMC 2026 (Robotic Grasping & Manipulation Competition) Klagenfurt team.
- 👾 I am currently working on training a tactile-visual grasping policy for robotic manipulators in Isaac Sim with subsequent sim2real deployment on a robot.
- 🌍 I'm based in Austria, Klagenfurt.
