I am a PhD candidate at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany and a visiting researcher at the University of Michigan from September 2024 through February 2025. I am part of Mcity, a group working on next-generation mobility innovations led by Henry Liu. I am working on the Mcity Data Engine under the supervision of Greg Stevens.

My PhD research focuses on deep learning based anomaly detection for autonomous driving. In addition, my related topics of interest are dataset analysis, scenario generation, remote assistance, informed machine learning, and shared mobility.

The Mcity Data Engine is an essential tool in the Mcity makerspace for transportation innovators making AI algorithms and seeking actionable data insights through machine learning.

The Data Engine allows researchers to efficiently query large volumes of data – directing Mcity’s transportation data collection networks with specific tasks to produce high-quality artificial intelligence models for development.
