PhD Candidate
University of Hamburg
I am a machine learning reseach engineer at Adobe Research and a 4th-year PhD student at the Knowledge Technology group at the University of Hamburg. I work on generative models that learn visual representation in a semi- or unsupervised way. This includes applications such as unconditional image generation, text-to-image synthesis, and disentangled representations. I am also interested in few-shot learning with and the automatic evaluation of generative models.
I completed my Bachelor degree in Business Informatics at the University of Mannheim, during which I also studied at the National University of Singapore for one semester. Following that, I did a research oriented Master degree in Intelligent Adaptive Systems at the University of Hamburg.

I had the chance to do an internship with Adobe Research in San-Francisco. Due to COVID all Adobe staff are working from home and so I did my internship remotely from Germany.
