I’m the head of the Multi-Robot Systems Satellite Lab and a senior researcher at the University of Technology Nuremberg, Germany. My research interests are multi-robot systems, evolutionary robotics, and embodied AI.

Previously, I was the Ada Lovelace Distinguished Research Fellow at the Center for Scalable Data Analytics and Artificial Intelligence at Technische Universität Dresden, Germany, and a postdoctoral researcher at the Cyber-Physical Systems Group and an affiliate member of the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour at the Universität Konstanz, Germany. I completed my doctorate in the Service Robotics Group at the Universität zu Lübeck, Germany.
