Greetings! I am a Senior Machine Learning Scientist at AWS AI working on enhancing reasoning capabilities of LLMs and Agents. My research interests include agent learning, multimodal reasoning, reward modeling, and responsible AI. I have published 30+ papers at top conferences, e.g.,ICLR, NeurIPS, ACL, EMNLP, AAAI, etc. In 2021, I have been selected as 1 of 51 national winners to receive a national research grant (100K Euros) from the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.I have been honored the Best Paper Runner-Up Award at AKBC in both 2020 and 2022. In 2024, my co-authored work received the honorable mention award (out of over 600 submissions) in the GPT-OSS Red-Teaming Challange.

Before joining Amazon, I was an AI researcher at Siemens Research, with a particular emphasis on language modelling and knowledge reasoning. I have completed my Ph.D. study with a specialization in Machine Learning at the University of Munich, supervised by Prof. Volker Tresp.  Prior to LMU Munich, I acquired the M.Sc. in 2019 from the Technical University of Munich and the B.Sc. in 2016 from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
