Research Scientist/Industrial PhD

BMW AG

I lead research projects to enable autonomous driving in open-world scenarios with a focus on active learning, out-of-distribution detection and uncertainty estimation for autonomous driving perception yielding to several first author publications and 13 filled patents. As head of the PhD machine learning and big data research group, I organize talks, seminars and projects and was involved in VLM-based perception and diffusion-based image generation projects (under review).

Founding Member, Engineering and Engineering Mentor

Recoro.io

As part of the founding team, I co-established the release and testing process with Github Actions, Docker and Azure and the development infrastructure with Jira, Confluence, Github Enterprise, Azure and AWS. • Within the founding team I co-developed the product prototype with C# and Python running on Kubernets and Azure and co-designed the data and processing pipeline of over 1000 customer calls.

Algorithm developer and Data Engineer in Autonomous Driving

BMW AG

I co-developed several reference algorithms for autonomous driving perception incl. segmentation, lane detection and object detection with Python, PyTorch and TensorFlow and deployed them as processing framework on the internal large scale compute cluster with Kubernets, Docker, Scala, Airflow and Ray. I enabled a nightly KPI calculation based on the deployed framework and analysed data from BMW autonomous driving recordings with big data engineering pipelines using Python, PySpark, Scala, Jenkins, Kubernetes and Airflow.

Nobel Prize in Physics

Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences

The Nobel Prizes are five separate prizes that, according to Alfred Nobel's will of 1895, are awarded to 'those who, during the preceding year, have conferred the greatest benefit to humankind.'

Die Grundlage der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie

Annalen der Physik

The publication of the theory of general relativity made him internationally famous. He was professor of physics at the universities of Zurich (1909–1911) and Prague (1911–1912), before he returned to ETH Zurich (1912–1914).

Zur Elektrody/namik bewegter Körper

Annalen der Physik

It concerned an interpretation of the Michelson–Morley experiment and the properties of light and time. Special relativity incorporates the principle that the speed of light is the same for all inertial observers regardless of the state of motion of the source.

Über einen die Erzeugung und Verwandlung des Lichtes betreffenden heuristischen Gesichtspunkt

Annalen der Physik

In the second paper, he applied the quantum theory to light to explain the photoelectric effect. In particular, he used the idea of light quanta (photons) to explain experimental results, but stressed the importance of the experimental results. The importance of his work on the photoelectric effect earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1921.

Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is the use of quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation. Computers that perform quantum computations are known as quantum computers.
