I am a Ph.D. student at ETH Zürich in the Computer Vision Lab led by Prof. Dr. Ender Konukoglu, and a Pre-Doctoral Researcher at IBM Research – Zurich with Dr. Peter W. J. Staar in the AI for Knowledge group.
My research focuses on multimodal machine learning for document understanding. I work within the Docling Team, focusing on Vision-Language Models for document parsing and chemical structure extraction. I hold a M.Sc. in Robotics, Cognition, Intelligence from TU Munich.
