Bacherlorthesis
Im Labor für rechnergestützte Entwicklung, 3D-Druck und mobile Robotik der Hochschule München arbeitete ich unter der Leitung von Prof. Dr. Haller. Dort entwickelte ich autonome Transportroboter, die Lasten selbstständig durch Innenräume transportieren sollten.
Looking back, this project was the starting point for my current interest in artificial intelligence and intelligent assistance systems.
Due to a confidentiality agreement, my bachelor's thesis can only be viewed in person. For more information, please visit the official website here.
Master's program

In a podcast with the marvelous Margarete Rathe, I had the opportunity to talk about this project. The conversation was about the details, but also about the fundamental responsibility we have as a society towards technological developments. Progress only has value if it benefits everyone, especially those who are otherwise all too often being overlooked.
Research

Together with my doctoral supervisor, Prof. Dr. Götzelmann, we are working to make language models more accessible to blind and visually impaired people. To this end, we have used research findings to better tailor speech output to the needs of blind people. Today's large language models (LLMs) are typically designed from the perspective of sighted people. This is precisely where our research comes in. I had the opportunity to present the results at the international ICCHP conference. Zum Paper.
Next, we'll test the prototype together with blind and visually impaired individuals in a virtual environment.
