I am an AI Researcher working at Aleph Alpha Research AAR in Heidelberg, Germany. My work focuses on researching and developing Large Language Models (LLM). I have been working on a novel hybrid LLM, Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) and Evaluations. I have also contributed to Humanity’s Last Exam.

Alongside Aleph Alpha Research, I also hold a position as an Assistant Professor (Lecturer) at UCL, BPro, Bartlett School of Architecture. At the Research Cluster 3: Living Architecture Lab I teach Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning, Machine Learning and Game Development. Our work has been published at ACADIA and International Journal of Architectural Computing (IJAC).

I also work on Multi-Agent Systems and topics bridging AI and Architecture as an independent researcher. My work has been accepted at ICLR, NeurIPS and AAMAS, where I have also given presentations. Most recently I have been working on an environment suite for multi-agent research and LLM-mediated guidance for MARL sytems. A further interest of mine is on collaboration and communication in the context of Multi-Agent Systems.

My education has been in Architecture and Urban Planning. I received my Bachelor of Science in Architecture and Urban Planning at University of Stuttgart, where I also learned programming and had exposure to Computer Aided Manufacturing and Robotics at the Institute for Computational Design (ICD). My studies continued at the Architectural Association (AA), School of Architecture London, Design Research Laboratory (DRL), where I deepened my focus on robotic fabrication of lightweight structures.
