As a mechatronics engineer and data science researcher with a passion for popular science, I am driven to forster connections across fields. I aim to link research with industry, bridge domain experts with AI specialists, and connect developers to end users. MARIN provides an ideal environment for this mission, with a team driven by excellence, enthusiasm and mutual trust. I am specialized in Reinforcement Learning, a machine learning framework that optimizes decision making through trial and error. RL can advise, assist or autonomously control ships actuators such as rudder, fin, sail or throttle.
