I am a Post-doc working at the Cooperative Autonomous Systems Group of Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. I acquired my PhD at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge (affiliated with Corpus Christi College), supervised by Professor Jon Crowcroft.

My passion lies in the application of AI/ML and mathematical/numerical computing in real-world systems, with a strong focus on making them run faster and more efficiently from both the software and hardware perspectives.

I have been actively participating in the Owl project, first as a main developer and now as project leader. Owl is a scientific computing and deep learning library that is widely used in the OCaml community, just like NumPy/SciPy in the Python world. I’ve designed and optimized this system on various levels. Owl joins the ranks of the most representative systems developed in the CS department of Cambridge University, together with systems such as Xen Hypervisor and EDSAC.

I’m an author of three books published by Springer, two about the Owl system and one about enterprise architecture and analytics. Currently I’m writing another book (to be published by Wiley) that aims to give a holistic view on the autonomous driving industry, from the perspectives of technology, business, and regulations.

I am always glad to face new challenges. I have been practising Kendo for years. I have also participated in the STIMULUS programme as volunteer to assist teaching computer science to pupils in local schools. A recent personal achievement is finishing the full Lake Constance cycle route.
