I'm a PhD student in the Computer Vision Group at the Technical University of Munich, advised by Prof. Daniel Cremers. Before that, I obtained my Master's (2014) and Bachelor's degree (2011) in computer science at TU Munich.

My current interests include:

• Variational methods, optimization problems on measures, optimal transport.

• Probabilistic generative models, Bayesian deep learning, variational inference.

• Algorithms for continuous optimization (convex and nonconvex).

• Applications in machine learning, computer vision and image processing.
