About me

I'm a software development engineer in the area of simulation for autonomous driving at Mercedes-Benz in Stuttgart. Before that I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Visual Computing Group of Prof. Oliver Deussen at the University of Konstanz, Germany. My main research was done within the Collaborative Research Center SFB-TRR 161 where I worked on quantitative models for visual abstraction. My research interests include computer graphics, especially the areas of real-time and non-photorealistic rendering, as well as information visualization. Full CV upon request.
