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

My research interests lies in intersection of adaptive systems (reinforcement learning) and computational simulation (numerical methods, computer graphics, spatiotemporal simulation). My latest interest is in environmental design as a tool to improve generalisability and robusntess both in-silico and embodied real-world agents.
