Hi! I’m Tim, I’m currently doing my PhD in Robotics at the Multi-robot-systems Group at the Czech Technical University in Prague supervised by Martin Saska. My research focuses on mutual relative localization for agile UAV teams, enabling autonomous cooperation in challenging real-world environments.

In the next stage of my PhD, I am working on intention-based swarming using implicit optical camera communication. I am currently interested in a research stay of about 4 to 6 months and would be happy to explore collaborations on decentralized UAV swarms, particularly in the areas of mutual relative localization, intention-based swarming, and resilient multi-agent coordination.

Outside of research, I enjoy road cycling, running, and bouldering. I started climbing during my studies in Würzburg and have recently begun exploring rope climbing as well.
