Profile
I am a PhD student at the TECO research group at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), focusing on deep learning from wearable sensor data. My research explores personalized Human Activity Recognition (HAR) through domain adaptation, representation learning, and probabilistic generative models. I love to delve into machine learning theory and apply it to real-world applications in human-centered sensing, bridging the gap between fundamental research and practical impact.
