After 2/2 wins, I won gold at the Altmarkmeisterschaften (≈200 competitors) and a week later with 4/4 wins also at the Bördetiger-Cup (≈130) + award for best technique of the tournament.
26 October 2024
With days of research, I wrote a 40-minute long article about different techniques to combat limited and noisy data in neural networks. If interested take a look here.

850 competitors fought in a giant international judo competition. I managed to win every fight in my large weight class until I lost after a long match in the semifinals, becoming 3rd.
6 June 2024
In a team of 4, we became finalists and presented our recommendation of modular datacenters to Microsoft Azure, addressing its rapid scaling problem. Take a look at our recommendation deck if interested.
25 May 2024
I solved Comma.ai's calibration challenge to predict car movement in videos with >25% error given a tiny noisy dataset. Look at this article I wrote for more details and this GitHub Repo for the code.

Natan Kramskiy, Cambridge undergrad Arnav Khanna and I developed a new chemotherapy approach for braincancer using nanogels for precise drug delivery, more on our website.
25 April 2024
In April, I joined a large global organization of young STEM interested students, Youth STEM Initiative, as a researcher in AI and ANNs before I became its chapter leader of Germany half a year later.
18 March 2024
I simulated a simple autonomous car driven by a neural-network in a small virtual world with basic physics using no libraries, just pure math, and wrote this article about that project.
16 December 2023
In a team of 4, we acted as consultants and proposed two recommendations to Google about improving internal communication. Take a look at our recommendation deck if interested.
14 October 2023
In a small team, we became finalists in my first ever global virtual hackathon, with the prompt to solve an important real problem using an emerging technology, like AI or Blockchain.
