Biography

I am a researcher working at the intersection of real-time data systems, machine learning, and intelligent data processing. My goal is to build the next generation of data systems that not only process continuous streams of data with high performance but also learn, adapt, and understand rich, multimodal inputs such as text, images, audio, and sensor signals all at real-time. Starting April 2026, I joined Ruhr-Universität Bochum as a Junior Professor of Databases and Information Systems, where I will establish a research group on next-generation data systems that combine classical data system principles with modern AI techniques.

I am also a Junior Research Group Lead as Athene Young Investigator at the Systems Group of TU Darmstadt. Before that, I was a deputy head leading the SAIDE Lab of German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) Darmstadt together with Prof. Carsten Binnig.

In 2021, I completed my doctoral degree (officially, Dr.-Ing. or Doctor of Engineering) from TU Darmstadt with a thesis on Network-centric Complex Event Processing that was graded with summa cum laude. My thesis received the German national award for the Best Ph.D. thesis in the field of distributed systems by the special interest group on Communication and Distributed Systems (KuVS).

Currently in my research, I broadly focus on the intersection of systems and machine learning while at the same time leverage modern hardware and networks to their best.
