Optimal Transport in Linear ICA

Master Thesis @ MPI for Intelligent Systems and University of Tübingen

Research Optimal transport ICA

Implementation of OT-ICA, which measures non-Gaussianity by the squared Wasserstein distance to a standard Gaussian rather than by proxy contrast functions. Published at the TPM workshop at UAI 2026; evaluated on simulated data, EEG artifact removal, and econometric price discovery.

NICE Toolbox (Computer Vision & DL)

Graduate Research Assistant @ MPI for Intelligent Systems

Deep learning Computer vision Python

Core contributor to the Nonverbal Interpersonal Communication Exploration (NICE) Toolbox. Implemented Deep Learning models for Pose Estimation, Emotion Detection, and Head Orientation. Designed the asset manager for all algorithms network weights and structured the testing and Docker containerization pipelines.

Structured Product Design, Pricing & Hedging (Financial Engineering)

KU Leuven (Course: Financial Engineering)

Finance Monte Carlo Bates model

Designed, priced, and hedged a Bonus Certificate linked to Costco (COST). Used the Bates Model (stochastic volatility + jumps) with a two-stage calibration and Monte Carlo simulation for path-dependent payoff pricing.

Probabilistic Asset Pricing

Master Seminar @ University of Tübingen

Bayesian Kalman filter Asset pricing

Developed a Bayesian framework for estimating stock risk premia. Integrated the hybrid model of Grammig et al. (2024) with forward-looking measures from Martin & Wagner (2019) using Kalman Filtering and the EM algorithm.
