ML Research Engineer interested in applied AI
I am an ELLIS PhD student at CISPA focused on foundation models, multimodal learning, and activation steering methods under supervision of Prof.
Dr. Mario Fritz. My work spans promptable segmentation (SAM), domain generalization, and model soups. I have BMVC 2025, MICCAI 2024, and a Scientific Data 2024 papers, plus open-source contributions and dataset curation. I enjoy scaling experiments, careful evaluation/ablation, and building usable research code.
