About

I started as a PhD student at the Statistical Learning & Data Science working group in May 2022. I obtained a Bachelor's degree (B.A.) in Statistics and a consecutive Master's degree (M.Sc.) in Biostatistics from LMU Munich. My main research focus is on deep representation learning, specifically semi-supervised learning for genome sequence classification and analysis, and I am involved in the GenomeNet project, in collaboration with the Computational Biology of Infection Research team in the Helmholtz Centre for Infection Research.
