During his studies he focused on the kinematics and dynamics of rescue, medical and rehabilitation robots and the human-robot interaction thereof. In 2017 he completed his Bachelor’s thesis at the SMS lab where he developed an algorithm that detects who is snoring in a multi-bed setup. Together with his colleagues he was awarded the International Research Award for Primary Snoring for outstanding scientific achievements in the field of habitual snoring. For his Master’s thesis he developed an autonomous drone that allows to localize avalanche victims.
