Timothy.
I work on autonomous systems, simulation, and numerical optimization.
I study Computational Engineering at TU Darmstadt and work on autonomous flight software at Wingcopter, contributing to software development, testing, and simulation. Outside work, I build engineering software and write about what I learn.
