In collaboration with Munich's municipal utility provider, Stadtwerke München (SWM), this project explored the feasibility of using acoustic monitoring for early leak detection in water pipe infrastructure. The primary goal was to develop machine learning models capable of identifying leak-indicating sound patterns within a real-world operational environment.

This event, organized by the LMU Chair for Mobile and Distributed Systems in collaboration with industry partners Accenture and Red Hat, aimed to create a forum for professionals, researchers, and students interested in the latest developments within the open-source ecosystem.
The OpenMunich conference series during 2016 until 2019 offered a platform to showcase research emerging from the university, covering topics from Machine Learning to Quantum Computing, alongside practical insights and technology demonstrations from our industry partners. I took the role as Lead Organizer, which means planning and execution of the OpenMunich conference series during 2018 and 2019.

In collaboration with Fraunhofer IKS, the AI-Fusion project addressed the critical challenge of understanding and ensuring safety in multi-agent reinforcement learning (MARL) systems. Emergence, defined as the arising of complex, often unpredictable, system-level dynamics from local interactions between agents and their environment, was a central focus due to its implications for system safety and reliability.

**Project:** AI-Fusion<br>
**Partner:** [Fraunhofer Institute for Cognitive Systems (IKS)](https://www.iks.fraunhofer.de/)<br>
**Duration:** 2022 - 2023<br>
**Objective:** To investigate the detection and mitigation of potentially unsafe emergent behaviors in complex systems composed of multiple interacting AI agents, particularly in scenarios involving heterogeneous agents (e.g., mixed-vendor autonomous systems).
