About
I am a PhD Candidate at the Institute of Theoretical Computer Science, University of Technology Graz. Under supervision of Professor Wolfgang Maass, I design and investigate algorithms to advance learning mechanism in brain-inspired artificial neural networks. In particular, my interests include topics of Computational Neuroscience, Machine- and Deep Learning.
