Portfolio
M.Sc. Computer Science student at ETH Zurich (Machine Intelligence). Focusing on the intersection of Robotics, AI, and Human-Machine Interaction, currently exploring teleoperation and learning for dexterous robotic hands. Formerly at Microsoft and Agile Robots.
M.Sc. Computer Science student at ETH Zurich, majoring in Machine Intelligence. B.Sc. from TUM with the best.in.tum excellence scholarship and a thesis on teleoperation for tactile fine manipulation. Exchange semester at UC San Diego. Research interests in robotic manipulation, AI, and humanoids.
Humanoid R&D intern at Agile Robots, prototyping a new dexterous robotic hand. Student Researcher at the TUM Chair of Learning AI, building teleoperation systems for dexterous robot hands. Former intern at Microsoft (deepfake detection & signal analysis).
Founded and led EyeVoices, an eye-blink-based communication platform for people with severe paralysis. Team lead of the Claw team at RoboTUM, building dexterous robotic hands and training policies with LeRobot. Working primarily with Python, C++, and PyTorch.
Built a teleoperation pipeline that maps Manus glove data onto a four-finger robotic hand in MuJoCo, compared joint-space and IK-based retargeting, and visualized fingertip contact forces as visual feedback.
Collected demonstrations with a Franka FR3 and our RoboTUM Claw hand, teleoperated via GELLO and recorded with LeRobot, and trained a policy that picks up a plush toy and places it on a box.
Trained an ACT policy on an SO-101 robot arm with LeRobot to autonomously pick up a cube and place it in a bowl, using only 25 teleoperated demonstrations.

Humanoid R&D Intern
Munich, Germany
Jun 2026 — Aug 2026
Contributed to early-stage prototyping of new concepts for a dexterous robotic hand. Set up the initial software stack for the new hand and implemented teleoperation, including hand retargeting with GeoRT.
Student Researcher
Munich, Germany
Nov 2025 — Aug 2026
Developed a teleoperation system for a dexterous robot hand. Implemented a learning-based retargeting model that maps human hand motions to the robot's distinct kinematics for precise in-hand manipulation, using Manus Metagloves and immersive MuJoCo simulation on the Apple Vision Pro.
Software Engineering Intern
Dublin, Ireland
Aug 2025 — Oct 2025
Developed honeypot systems to detect and analyze malicious signals within MSTIC. Fine-tuned an EfficientNet-B0 model in PyTorch for deepfake detection. Honorable Mention at Microsoft Global Hackathon for 'Blink+'.
Robotics Trainee
Munich, Germany
Mar 2024 — Jul 2024
Developed teleoperation software for humanoid robotic systems using Python, C++, and ROS, enabling high-quality demonstration data for downstream VLA and imitation-learning pipelines. Integrated GELLO, haptic gloves, and trackers for precise and responsive manipulation. Delivered live demonstrations to partners and customers.
