Short CV
I received my Bachelor’s degrees in Cybernetics in 2021 at Technische Universität Ilmenau. For my mandatory internship I worked half a year for the Robert Bosch GmbH at the research centre in Renningen where I also wrote my bachelors thesis on autonomous start-ups in vehicle convoys [4]. During the following master studies I started working as a student assistant on the cooperation with Max Bögl on magnetic levitation control. This lead to my master thesis [5] which I defended in April 2023. Since May 2023 I have been working as a PhD student in the Differential Equations and Optimization-based Control groups at TU Ilmenau. For this purpose I received a scholarship by the Thüringer Landesgraduiertenförderung. Since early childhood playing the piano has been my most passionate hobby. This also led to a performance of the Piano Concerto Nr. 21 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in collaboration with the academic orchestra of TU Ilmenau.
