    -- A transcript of your grades from Bachelor and Master studies.

Currently, I'm working as a Ph.D. student and research assistant under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Rolf Findeisen at the Institute for Automation Engineering at the Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg.

I studied Systems Engineering and Engineering Cybernetics at the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg until November 2016. The topic of my master thesis was the conceptuation and implementation of a hybrid force/position model predictive controller for path following. The application was the KUKA lightweight robot IV. During 2013/2014 I studied at the Tampere University of Technology in Finland.

I have spent internships at the Robert Bosch GmbH in Schwieberdingen in 2012 and at the Cibite AG in Donauwörth in 2014. In 2011 and 2012 I was part of the organizing team of the RoboCup German Open. Since December 2016 I am a member of Rolf Findeisen's Group for Systems Theory and Automatic Control. Since April 2017 I am a fellow of the research training group Mathematical Complexity Reduction.
