I am currently a Postdoctoral Researcher at the division of Robotics, Perception and Learning at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, where I also received my Ph.D. My research explores methods and algorithms that can enable autonomous social robots to support people.

In my Ph.D. thesis titled Computational approaches to interaction-shaping robotics, I explored how robots can shape human-human interactions while acting fully autonomously and investigated autonomy either through heuristics or learning approaches.

Previously, I have been working in the Corporate Research at KUKA where I focused on mobile robot navigation. I received my B.Sc. and M.Sc. with a Major in Computer Science and a Minor in Robotics at TU Dortmund in Dortmund, Germany.
