I’m a PhD Student in the Cyber-physical Systems Group (Prof. Heiko Hamann) at the University of Konstanz, Germany, and member of the Centre for the Advanced Study of Collective Behaviour.
I am also an external member of the Multi-Robot Systems Junior Research Group (Dr. Tanja Kaiser) at the University of Technology Nuremberg.

My research focuses on the emergence of division of labor, task partitioning, and task allocation in multi-robot systems, investigated mainly through evolutionary robotics approaches.
