Bio

I am a PhD student at the eXascale Infolab/University of Fribourg. I received a B.Sc. in Computer Science in Media from Hochschule Furtwangen, Germany, and an M.Sc. in Computer Science from the University of Fribourg. My master’s thesis won the JAACS best thesis award and the faculty award for the best thesis in theoretical sciences. Throughout the course of my studies, I have completed internships at SAP, Credit Suisse, and Swisscom, working and researching on social, semantic, and streaming data. Previously, I have also worked as a web and graphic designer.
