Hallo! I am a MSc student in the Computational Modeling and Simulation at TU Dresden, studying techniques of computational simulation.

My research interests lies in intersection of adaptive systems (reinforcement learning, robotics), simulation (physically based simulation, particle systems), and computer graphics. By studying both aspects of simulation and decision-making, my ultimate goal is to build systems that perceive, model, and interact robustly with the physical world.
