ML4Systems • Security Research • Computer Science Student

Hi, welcome to my website! I’m a student at TUM where I work as a Teaching Assistant for Introduction to Informatics. I’m currently a Security Researcher Intern at Firebolt and also collaborating with the TRL Lab at CWI.

My research interests are focused on ML4Systems, LLMs, security and privacy. I’m particularly interested in how machine learning can be applied to improve system performance, reliability, and security, as well as the intersection of large language models with systems research.

I enjoy creating visualizations and interactive content - like the syntax tree you see above. I plan to write about my research topics here, as well as my interests in history and linguistics, using visual elements to help explain technical concepts in a more approachable way.

I try to keep the site style quite minimal because I want to focus on the content. If you like it you can find the source code in my repo. Feel free to use it as you prefer.

My Experience at BTW25 in Bamberg

I had such a pleasant time at the BTW conference at Fakultät Wirtschaftsinformatik und Angewandte Informatik (WIAI) in Bamberg this week. The organizers were wonderful, and kept me well caffeinated (thank you coffee bike). The lectures and workshops were such a treat for someone who is at the beginning of their research journey. Meeting so many people whose names I only saw on research papers was, as always, quite an experience.
