I have finally submitted my dissertation focused on two-phase flow in porous media and AI foundation models for fluid dynamics. At RWTH Aachen University, we now need to prepare a completely new topic for the upcoming viva voce examination. This way, we prove we are capable of discussing and defending topics beyond our dissertation work.
I will talk about AI and consciousness, a subject that has fascinated me for a long time. Stay tuned!
I just participated in the Merck Innovation Cup 2025, a prestigious competition that brings together PhD students, postdocs, and young professionals from around the world to tackle real-world challenges in healthcare and life sciences. I joined the AI Inference Acceleration team and we developed an innovative solution for multi-modal models in material discovery.
I’m currently conducting research at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville, working with Stephen Baek’s lab on developing a physics foundation model. This exciting project aims to create a model that can predict the behavior of multiple physical systems using spatio-temporal attention and a numerical integrator. The key point is to leverage in-context learning to enable the model to generalize across different physical domains. The research stay also provides an excellent opportunity to collaborate with leading researchers in the field of AI for science and expand my expertise in physics-informed machine learning.
I am excited to announce that I have joined the TriggerInk project. The project focuses on cartilage tissue engineering using 3D bioprinting techniques. My role involves developing and optimizing the robotic printing processes to create functional cartilage constructs. The project is a great opportunity to learn more about biotechnology and tissue engineering.
I just started my PhD journey in Chemical Engineering at RWTH Aachen University under the supervision of Prof. Matthias Wessling. My research focuses on simulation of two-phase flow as well as metal 3D printing for electrochemical applications.
