MSc in Information Studies \u2013 Data Science (UvA) and MSc Business Administration and Engineering. My research focusses on planning problems that are too large and too messy to be tackled by pure symbolic planning algorithms. I am especially interested in the integration of symbolic methods into learning approaches, e.g., integrating formal reasoning into Reinforcement Learning, or vice versa the integration of learning approaches into symbolic methods. Additionally, I am interested in regularization techniques for training or finetuning Large Language Models and their application in the above-mentioned research area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am the senior scientist for symbolic artificial intelligence within the chair of computer science in mechanical engineering. After an apprenticeship as a computer engineer, I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in computer engineering and a Master’s degree in information technology from Ostwestfalen-Lippe University of Applied Sciences (TH OWL). I completed my PhD in 2023 where he investigated learning of logical expressions from data and how to perform automated fault diagnosis of cyber-physical systems. My current research interests include learning logical models from data, validation of knowledge bases, and fault diagnosis with logical and structural methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
