At Siemens, I’m currently focused on AI, advanced analytics, and the development of new technologies. 📊 Previously, I was a researcher in the Bits to Energy Lab at ETH Zurich, where I developed machine learning techniques for energy applications to promote sustainability and for the digitalization of the power grid. 🔋🔌💡 One area of focus for my work was analyzing data from smart electricity meters and IoT sensor data to optimize residential heat pumps in operation. For my research, I collaborated with multiple partners: Swiss Federal Office of Energy, Bosch, EKZ, Enerlytica, and Hoval.
