About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research New England. I completed my PhD at the University of Warwick and New York University, supervised by Stephen Jarvis (U Birmingham), Daniel Neill (NYU) and Hongkai Wen (U Warwick / Samsung AI). I was also an Enrichment student at the Alan Turing Institute and a Beyond Fellow at TUM / DLR. My research focuses on the representation of geospatial phenomena in machine learning methods. Beyond that, I am interested in the application of these methods in urban environments and to tackle climate change. In my free time, I volunteer for Climate Change AI where I served for two terms on the board until fall 2022. I hold a Bachelors degree in Economics from the University of Freiburg (Germany) and a Masters in Transportation from Imperial College and University College London.

I am on the job market this year! If you think I could be a good candidate for your academic department or industry research position, please reach out to me.
