It's me

About

This page is a short listing of my academic, professional and voluntary work. Furthermore, it contains some programming-related stuff.

Academia

In 2019, I started a PhD with Andreas Krause at ETH Zürich, and Nicolas Usunier and Gabriel Synnaeve at Facebook AI Research.

In 2013, I worked as a research assistant at the Interactive Systems Lab at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology on speech recognition and deep learning.

In 2012, I finished my Master's degree at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, focussing on Machine Learning, Cognitive Systems and Theoretical Computer Science. In my final thesis, I applied deep learning techniques to feature preprocessing in automatic speech recognition. With support from my advisors, Alex Waibel and Florian Metze, as well as from InterACT, I was able to perform my thesis at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.

In 2009, I finished my undergraduate studies in Computer Science at the University of Freiburg. I wrote my Bachelor's thesis, "Intelligente Objekterkennung für ein lernfähiges Carrerabahn-System" at Prof. Martin Riedmiller's Machine Learning Lab. It documents the development of an intelligent object tracking system for Prof. Riedmiller's NeuroRacer, a reinforcement learning slotcar system.


Publications


Work

Starting from 2016, I am a Research Engineer at Facebook AI Research (FAIR), initially working on neural machine translation and for some time now on reinforcement learning for games.

In 2013 I worked for Mobile Technologies, which offers speech-to-speech translation for smartphones via the Jibbigo app. In Fall 2013, we were acquired by Facebook and bootstrapped its speech recognition and machine translation efforts.

Throughout my studies, from 2006 to 2012, I've been working at Phönix PACS, a Freiburg-based company producing PACS software. I mainly worked on 3D reconstruction and visualization of medical image data as well as segmentation and analysis of anatomical structures.

In 2005 I did my alternative service at the Anesthesiological ICU of the Universitätsklinikum Freiburg.


Programming

Here are some of my personal projects that are publicly available as free software:

Numerous other small things can be found at my GitHub page.

On rare occasions, I stick with existing software instead of re-inventing the wheel. Here are some patches I've submitted:


Articles


Activities

I used to be an active member and administrator at the largest German message board about graphing calculators from Texas Instruments, mobifiles.de. During that time, Martin Huber from mobifiles.de and I founded boolsoft.org, an open-source programming group for TI 68k calculators. However, I've been rather inactive at calculator programming for the last couple of years.
