Working at a university means being a teacher in theoretical classes, an advisor in practical classes, a speaker and an organizer for lectures. In the respective pages, you can learn more about my [teaching](teaching) and [research](research) topics.
Working on [projects](projects) on behalf of or together with industry partners was another task. Here I learned, e.g. about audio signal processing and training of deep neural networks in the context of sequences and image data.
In my final year, I was given the opportunity to study multi-agent reinforcement learning in the context of safety and emergent phenomena in fused industrial environments.
Together with my personal interests, this formed the basis for the [publications](publications) we were fortunate enough to work on, as well as the skills I aquired over the course of time.
Furthermore, my colleagues and I worked on what we called '*hobbies*', which led me to being the head organizer of an [open-source conference](https://openmunich.eu).
Soon thereafter, I took over the editorial office of our [online magazine](https://digitaleweltmagazin.de/).
I was fortunate to get the opportunity to work in various roles and with tools I had never imagined before.
