About Me

I am an ELLIS and IMPRS-IS PhD candidate in Machine Learning at the University of Tübingen, advised by Philipp Hennig, Bernhard Schölkopf, and Yee Whye Teh. My research focuses on uncertainty quantification and Bayesian deep learning. I am particularly excited about the parameter spaces of neural networks and symmetries therein.

Previously, I completed my Master's degree with distinction at the University of Tübingen in the STAI lab of Seong Joon Oh and worked as a research intern at the Mackelab. I received my Bachelor's degree with the Best Thesis and Outstanding Student of the Faculty awards from ELTE Eötvös Loránd University.
