Studying Data Science at University of Regensburg

I am pursuing a Master in Data Science at the Faculty of Informatics and Data Science at the University of Regensburg, with the specializations on Machine Learning and Statistics.

09.2025 - 02.2026

Bachelor Thesis

Examined the feasibility of generating synthetic radar point-cloud data using diffusion models and evaluated the Fréchet Radar Distance (FRD), a radar-specific adaptation of FID for distribution-level evaluation. Designed and implemented the full experimental pipeline in Python/PyTorch, focusing on statistical validation, generative convergence, and principled performance measurement.

10.2025 - 03.2026

Studying AI and Data Science at University of Applied Science Regensburg

Completed a 7-semester dual Bachelor’s degree in AI and Data Science at OTH Regensburg, including an integrated industry placement semester. The program combined academic training in machine learning, statistics, data engineering, and artificial intelligence with continuous practical experience in my dual studi partner company Continental / Aumovio. Focus areas included supervised and unsupervised learning, neural networks, data pipelines, model evaluation, and generative ai.

10.2022 - 02.2026

Dual Study Program at Continental AG / Aumovio

As part of my dual study program, I worked full-time during semester breaks, the dedicated practical semester, and throughout my Bachelor’s thesis, resulting in approximately 1.5 years of hands-on full-time industry experience. I was embedded in an R&D department for AI, contributing to applied AI development in an industrial context. During my practical semester, I evaluated integrating generative AI methods for sensor data within an ongoing series production project under real-world constraints.

Projects

Overview Radar Project

Frechet Radar Distance Evaluation

2026

Developed a framework for evaluating synthetic radar point-cloud data using the Fréchet Radar Distance (FRD), a distribution-level metric inspired by FID. The project implements a full pipeline including radar discretization, random projections for feature extraction, and statistical validation against a reference log-likelihood metric. The system is also used to analyze training dynamics of diffusion models generating radar data.

Reversi Zero

AlphaZero for Reversi — Multi-Player & Custom Maps

2025

Implementation of AlphaZero for a generalized multi-player Reversi variant. The system combines a PyTorch ResNet (policy + value head) with Monte Carlo Tree Search and parallel self-play. Supports arbitrary board sizes, custom map generation, and integrates a high-performance C++ game engine.

Deskquery — AI Desk Booking Analytics

2025

University project: Developed an AI-powered desk analytics assistant that translates natural language queries into validated backend function calls. Built with Flask and Python, integrating LLM-based intent detection, simulation logic, and interactive data visualizations for workplace utilization analysis.

Conditional GAN for Tabular Data Generation

2025

Implemented a conditional GAN for synthetic tabular data generation inspired by CTGAN. Supports conditional sampling, custom loss functions, and experimentation with training dynamics. Focused on stabilizing GAN training for mixed continuous/categorical datasets and evaluating distributional quality of generated samples.

XAI-AttackBench — Black-Box Attacks on LIME & SHAP

2025

Developed a modular benchmark for evaluating the robustness of post-hoc explanation methods (LIME, SHAP) against black-box adversarial attacks under prediction fidelity constraints. The framework maximizes explanation drift while keeping model outputs nearly unchanged, enabling systematic analysis of explanation stability on tabular data.
