Hi, I’m Max. I’m a postdoc working on machine learning and robotics problems.
I am a postdoc at the University of Freiburg, where I am co-supervised by Thomas Brox and Abhinav Valada. My PhD was supervised by Thomas Brox and Wolfram Burgard. Prior to my doctorate I obtained a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Physics at the University of Heidelberg under Björn Ommer.
Over the course of my PhD and postdoc, I have worked on computer vision for robotic manipulation, exploring approaches ranging from reinforcement learning to visual servoing. Additionally, I have investigated self-supervised learning and hand pose estimation.
Most recently, I am working to build few-shot robot imitation systems that are able to learn from human demonstrations, as well as designing robotics algorithms that easily generalize to different application settings. I have also published several articles in the field of explainable AI.
I have completed a research internship at BAIR under the guidance of Evan Shelhamer and at Symbio Robotics together with Jon Long, resulting in work published at ICLR and IROS.
