My current research focuses on deep learning in the area of liquid simulations. The basic idea is to accelerate and refine the simulations with machine learning techniques. Accordingly, part of my research deals with learning reduced representations of fluid simulations or investigating upsampling methods for particle-based data. In recent work, I have also tried to increase the robustness of learning fluid behavior using physically induced biases.

Since 2018 I’m a Ph.D. candidate in Nils Thuerey’s group.
