I love progress and feel joy when my knowledge and capabilities expand. I want to understand the mysteries of reality, travel the stars, and enhance my cognitive and physical abilities to levels that we can't even imagine right now.
AI is likely the biggest existential risk that humanity currently faces, so I decided to dedicate myself to making it safer.
Currently, I'm finishing my Cognitive Science and Artificial Intelligence Bachelor's (1 year faster & Summa Cum Laude) and am starting to do my own research on the side.
I made this website so you can get to know me and what I know. Scrolling down is a timeline of important milestones in my life.
Today I finished all courses of my AI bachelor's after just 1.5 years (instead of 3) of being enrolled and with extraordinary grades (summa cum laude).
Griffin Labs is a Biotech/AI startup with the mission to accelerate scientific research towards solving human diseases, specifically focusing on Alzheimer's. As part of my role, I am building an autonomous agent that constructs self-updating causal graphs of biological interactions by analyzing thousands of scientific papers (check it out in the video!).
This month, I attended the "Brain-io BCI" and the "Agentic AI against aging" hackathons. I won both! 😜
In the last three months, I helped to organize a longevity pop-up city in Berlin. We had people from all over the world living together and on our weekend summits we had speakers like Aubrey de Grey and George Church.
