I am a PhD candidate in the Explainable Machine Learning group and the International Max-Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS) under the supervision of Prof. Zeynep Akata.
I have received my master's degree in Intelligent Adaptive Systems from the University of Hamburg in 2019 and my bachelor's degree in Bioprocess Informatics from the Weihenstephan-Triesdorf University of Applied Sciences in 2015.
My primary research interests are in multi-modal learning and video understanding.
