I studied mathematics at Technische Universität Ilmenau, (TU Ilmenau), Ilmenau, Germany and received the Bachelor and Master of Science degrees in 2013 and 2015, respectively. Since 2015, I have been a Research Assistant with the Electronic Measurements and Signal Processing Group, which is a joint research activity between the Fraunhofer Institute for Integrated Circuits IIS, Ilmenau, and TU Ilmenau, Ilmenau. In 2022 I finished my doctoral studies and received the doctoral degree (Dr.-Ing.) with honors in electrical engineering. Since then, I have been a post doctoral student in the Electronic Measurements and Signal Processing Group. In 2023 I spent six months with the Wireless Division at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in Gaithersburg MD, where I worked on various channel sounding systems and related algorithms. Since 2024 I have been leading the “Signal-Processing with Efficient Algorithms and Learning” (SEAL) group at Fraunhofer IIS, Ilmenau, Germany. My research interests consist of signal processing for radio channels, parameter estimation, integrated communications and sensing, optimization, numerical methods algorithm design, artifical intelligence and compressive sensing.
