Control. Learning.
Systems in motion.

I develop predictive and learning-based control methods — from full-size electric vehicles and energy systems to autonomous RC platforms.

ABOUT ME

From models to experiments.

I completed my doctorate at TU Wien in 2025. My work combines predictive control, energy management and fault diagnosis with experience in research project leadership and industrial software development. From 2011 to 2019, I worked at ZIEHL-ABEGG in R&D, initially as a working student and later as a software engineer.
