Profile

I grew up in a tiny town near Frankfurt am Main, Germany. In 1997, I moved with my parents to Atlanta, Georgia. I was accepted into the undergraduate program at the Georgia Institute of Technology (GIT) in 2004. I recently graduated with my undergraduate degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science.

I work in the Georgia Robotics and InTelligent Systems laboratory under the advisement of Dr. Magnus Egerstedt. My research focuses on the development of software architectures for multi-agent networked cyber-physical systems, such as robots and wireless sensor networks.

I was also the senior systems analyst and engineer of the Computational Combustion Laboratory (CCL). My primary responsibility in the CCL was to analyze software and hardware on High Performance Computing (HPC) Linux clusters.

I am an active member of the on-campus robotics organization, the RoboJackets. I volunteer my time and expertise to build and program a robot yearly for the Intelligent Ground Vehicle Competition (IGVC). In 2007-08, I lead a team of students to develop a path planning system from scratch in a year’s span. The path planner successfully steered our robot to a ninth place finish at the competition.

Open Garage is my personal blog and website, which chronicles my schoolwork, research, and free time. I like to spend my free time building electronics, programming robots, and tinkering with Linux.
