About

I studied computer science at Saarland University in Saarbrücken (Germany). I completed my B.sc. in 2018 after writing my thesis at Björn Brandenburg's Real-Time Systems Group at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems. For my master's thesis I looked at how to improve video streaming performance by dropping parts of the video. This work was finished in 2020 at Anja Feldmann's Internet Architecture Group at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics. I have continued working as a research assistant at MPII before joining IIJ in 2021. In October 2023 I became a Ph.D. student at the Graduate University for Advanced Studies under the supervision of Kensuke Fukuda.
