Currently I am a Young Graduate Trainee at the European Space Agency's Advanced Concepts Team. My work includes topics in Space Security and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
I was a graduate student in the "Joint European Master in Space Science and Technology" programme, where I graduated with a Master's Thesis on 'Multi-Robot Cooperation in Space Applications' at the Helsinki University of Technology (TKK) in Finland. I had the great opportunity to work for 3 months at the Intelligent Space Systems Laboratory of the University of Tokyo, Japan. In the first year of my MSc studies one semester was held in Würzburg, Germany (JMUW) and the second at the Kiruna Space Campus in northern Sweden.
In 2007 I was working as a programmer & researcher at the Instituto Superior Técnico in Lisbon, implementing a depth perception algorithm for humanoid robotics (iCub) (see paper). I received my BSc from the Vienna University of Technology. I am still enrolled there as a student in the Computational Intelligence MSc programme.
My projects and generally things I am involved with can be found here! The SpaceMaster Robotics Team, which currently has David and me as team-members, website is also hosted here.
More about me can be found here! If you are interested you can also find my CV online here.
My soup (microblog) can be found here! (my Blawg, which sounds a little more tormented, either you reading or me writing, can be found there but it not much updated anymore. It also looks similar to the German bla, which is often used as blabla, which is just useless text.)
