Research Interests

My current research interests are focused on optimization based control. In particular, I am interested in the following topics:

  • Path Following with Model Predictive Control
  • Gaussian Processes and learning-based Model Predictive Control
  • Force Control and Robotics in Medical Applications

CV

Since April 2013 I have been working as a Ph.D. student and research assistant under the supervision of Prof. Rolf Findeisen at the Institute for Automation Engineering. Until March 2013 I have studied Systems Engineering and Engineering Cybernetics at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. The topic of my master thesis was the implementation of a model predictive path following controller on the KUKA LWR in the laboratory of the Institute of Automation Engineering.

Additionally I'm affiliated to the Solution Centre for Image guided local Therapies (Stimulate).
