Short Curriculum Vitae
I am a PhD student in the Distributed Systems Group at ETH Zurich under the supervision of Prof. Friedemann Mattern. I joined the group in April 2016. Before, I received both my M.Sc. and B.Sc. in Computer Science from the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), Germany.
During my studies I stayed at Carnegie Mellon University, US, from October 2013 until February 2014, to compose my Bachelor's thesis.
Furthermore, I stayed at LIAAD, INESC TEC in Porto, Portugal, from September 2015 until March 2016 to do my Master's thesis.
Research Interests
My research at ETH Zurich focusses in general on machine learning and data mining.
- Previously I worked on estimating potential savings in heating energy using occupancy detection to determine whether a household is occupied.
- I am interested in the field of interactions with smart devices. This includes, e.g., object detection from a video stream on mobile devices, gesture-based control of devices, etc.
Teaching
- HS 2016 Distributed Systems as teaching assistant
- FS 2017 Informatik II as co-head teaching assistant
Other Activities
I was a reviewer for Energieinformatik 2017, ACM SAC 2017 (Data Streams track), the Machine Learning Journal (Springer), ACM SAC 2016, IEEE TKDE and FCT 2016.
