Personal profile
Personal profile
From 01.10.2024, I will be an assistant professor at the ITC Faculty of Geo-Information Science and Earth Observation, the Department of Earth Observation Science (EOS), University of Twente, the Netherlands.
Currently, I am a recipient of Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) European Postdoctoral Fellowship with the 101062870 - VeVuSafety project that aims to learn the interactions between vehicles and vulnerable road users to facilitate safer Intelligent Transportation Systems and Autonomous Driving.
My research interest includes deep learning of road user behavior modeling in Intelligent Transport Systems and Autonomous Driving and Safety Analysis between vehicles and vulnerable road users. My research focus will be further extended to AI for accessible and responsible Geo-Science.
I acquired my M.Sc. degree (with distinction) in Internet Technologies and Information Systems from TU Braunschweig, Leibniz University Hannover, TU Clausthal, and University Göttingen, Germany, in 2017, and Ph.D. (with distinction) at the Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geodetic Science, Leibniz University Hannover, Germany, 2021.
