About Me

I am working as a PhD student with Professor Christian Holz at the Sensing, Interaction & Perception Lab at ETH Zurich. My focus lies on applying statistics and statistical machine learning to large medical datasets.

Before joining ETH SIPLAB, I completed the MSc in Statistical Science at the University of Oxford and the BSc in Statistics at University College London (UCL). During my time at the University of Oxford, I worked as a Research Assistant with Dr. Matthias Qian and Professor Mari Sako, where I focused on constructing natural language processing (NLP) models for text classification.

Besides my studies, I interned in Data Analytics teams at tech companies (Amazon and Auto1 Group), in the Actuarial Science team at an insurance company (Talanx Group) and in Management Consulting (Process Excellence division) at Kienbaum Consultants International (now EY).
