Selected Projects
Visual Odometry Pipeline (ongoing)
A visual odometry pipeline for estimating camera trajectory from image sequences. Implements feature extraction, matching, and motion estimation using OpenCV and Python to reconstruct paths from monocular video feeds.
Satellite Docking
Autonomous satellite docking using Sequential Convex Programming (SCvx) for trajectory optimization. Simulates dynamic environments and enforces safety constraints to ensure precise and collision-free docking maneuvers.
Reducing the Influence of Model Mismatch in Bayesian Optimization Through Targeted Noise Injection
Bachelor Thesis at the Institute of Data Science in Mechanical Engineering (RWTH Aachen). Addressed model mismatch in Bayesian Optimization by introducing "Targeted Noise Injection," a data-centric strategy utilizing a novel multiplicative Gaussian likelihood to selectively down-weight misleading observations.
Flappy Bird
Solving the Flappy Bird game using Dynamic Programming and Optimal Control as a Stochastic Shortest Path Problem. Models the game dynamics and computes optimal policies to maximize survival time under uncertainty.
PID Controller Simulation Demo
A browser-based tool for experimenting with PID control, featuring real-time parameter tuning and visual feedback. Built with JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, it allows users to adjust P, I, and D gains and observe system stability instantly.
Other Projects
GymTracker
Predictive web app forecasting university gym occupancy using real-time data and time-series analysis.
Banner Injector Extension
Chrome extension to inject custom banners into pages using JavaScript and CSS.
RWTH Notenstreicher
Streamlit app that analyses transcripts and suggests module exclusions to maximise GPA.
