Our paper "Uncertainty-Aware Trajectory Prediction via Rule-Regularized Heteroscedastic Deep Classification" has been accepted at Robotics: Science and Systems (RSS) 2025 conference.
I am enrolled in joint PhD program at Freie Universität Berlin and Continental Automotive, supervised by Prof. Adrian Paschke. I am specializing in the intersection of artificial intelligence and autonomous systems.
My research is dedicated to developing innovative methods for formalizing traffic rules and integrating them into autonomous driving systems. Additionally, I work as a research scientist at Continental Automotive, where I focus on translating these theoretical frameworks into practical applications.
Working towards integrating traffic rules into the trajectory prediction module in a implicit manner. Alongside we are improving uncertainty quantification in the prediction.
Algorithms for planning vehicle trajectories in complex traffic scenarios while adherring to the rules of the road.
