About Me

I joined the Chair of Software and Systems Engineering (Prof. Dr. Pretschner) in September 2022. Generally, I am interested in cyber-physical systems (CPS) and modeling and simulation (M&S). My current research interests are scenario-based testing, search-based software testing, and drone swarm controllers. I am interested in developing techniques to generate test cases for cooperating unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Prior to joining the chair, I earned a master's degree in aerospace engineering and worked in industry as a systems engineer.
