Experience

  • Research Engineer at Technische Universität Wien
    May 2026 - Present · 2 mos

    Translating human musculoskeletal biomechanics into an ML model for real-time prediction of end-effector stiffness and adaptive impedance control in humanoid robotics.

  • CW - AR Lab Technician at Snap Inc.
    Jul 2025 - Present · 1 yr

  • Master’s Thesis Robotic Vision ML Engineer at Technische Universität Wien
    Mar 2025 - Jan 2026 · 11 mos

    Developed ML-based metric 3D object generation pipeline, eliminating need for expensive scanning hardware, and integrated state-of-the-art pose estimation algorithms into ROS for end-to-end 6D object pose estimation. Results were published in a peer-reviewed paper. Validated pipeline on real-world supermarket objects with a reconstruction rate of 100 % and achieving 89 % robotic manipulation accuracy.
