My research is at the intersection between machine learning and robust control. The main topic of my dissertation is learning probabilistic robust controllers (a.k.a. policies), that are provably robust against uncertainty inherent in learning from data. I am also actively working on Bayesian optimization in the context of reinforcement learning and controller tuning.
The first part of my PhD took place the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems where I was a member of the Intelligent Control Systems Group lead by Prof. Sebastian Trimpe. In 2020 our research group moved to the RWTH Aachen University where we are now forming the Institute for Data Science in Mechanical Engineering. I am an associated student of the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems IMPRS-IS and my PhD is supported by IAV.
