About Me

I am a postdoctoral researcher with the Parallelism & VLSI Group under supervision of Jörg Keller at FernUniversität in Hagen.

In my research, I am concerned with energy-efficient multicore scheduling and the application of machine learning techniques to scheduling problems. Furthermore, I am interested in neural architecture search, in particular based on metaheuristics.

Teaching

At FernUniversität in Hagen, I serve as a teaching assistant for courses on parallel computing, simulation, and computer engineering. Moreover, I take part in supervising bachelor and master theses on topics related to parallel computing.

As a philosophy student, I have worked as a teaching assistant for introductory courses on logic at Universität Hamburg and at Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen.
