I'm a PhD student at KTH in Sweden, advised by Asso. Prof. Florian Pokorny. My research broadly covers robotic manipulation and computer vision and is funded by the CloudGripper project of WASP.

Before joining KTH, I received my M.Sc in quantitative finance from the National University of Singapore. In my free time, I climb.
