Robot Learning
Reinforcement learning and representation learning for robust robot behavior.
About
Robotics, perception, and learning
I am a postdoctoral researcher in the Interactive Robot Perception and Learning Lab (PEARL) at TU Darmstadt, advised by Prof. Georgia Chalvatzaki.
My research focuses on learning-based perception and manipulation for robots operating in complex environments. I am particularly interested in how robots can reason about uncertainty, actively gather useful information, and learn robust behaviors through physical interaction.
I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at the Humanoid Robots Lab, University of Bonn, under the supervision of Prof. Maren Bennewitz. My dissertation is titled Learning Perception and Manipulation of Objects in Cluttered Environments.
Students: I am looking for motivated student assistants interested in robot learning, active perception, and manipulation. Please contact me with a short description of your background and interests.
