Experience

  1. Doctoral fellow at ETH AI Center

    ETH Zurich
    Applied control-theoretic tools to analyze deep sequence models (state space models, transformers); designed and experimentally validated uncertainty-aware, safe perception-based control for autonomous racing; developed a SLAM method with explicit uncertainty guarantees for robust perception in safety-critical settings.
  2. Coding instructor

    Girls Code Too
    Instructed Python coding classes, with a special focus on preparation for the Swiss Informatics Olympiad.
  3. Research in Industrial Projects for Students

    Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics, University of California Los Angeles
    Researched automatic conflict detection in police body-worn camera audio, developing a novel method combining adaptive noise removal, ML-based speech segmentation, and conflict measures from phrase repetition and intensity
