M.Sc. Electrical Engineering @ TUM | Fastlane Scholarship @ BMW Group
About Michael
I am currently studying at the TUM Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and writing my Master Thesis at BMW. In 2024 I got accepted into the BMW Fastlane Scholarship Program, which offers Master students unique opportunities to explore the BMW Group and different areas within BMW.
In 2021 I got accepted into the Global Engineering Education Exchange Program. This enabled me to go abroad to the University of Florida (USA). In 2019 I graduated with a Bachelor degree in Management and Engineering at Technical University Munich (TUM) with main focus on Electrical and Computer Engineering. I spent 5 months abroad at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada. During this time I focused on Computer Engineering and International Trade.
Currently I am the head of IT at HIO-Fitting GmbH, which I joined as one of the first employees. Since my start I worked on various different projects, but mainly on iOS-Apps (Swift), Cloud (Google Cloud), On-Premise Servers (Linux). I am also responsible for data analytics and now have a team of 3 developers working on increasing the reach and stability of the infrastructure.
In my first bachelor thesis I dealt with the integration of machine learning and IoT into the supply chain of companies. In my second bachelor thesis I setup and implemented a pipeline for the accurate determination of (virtual) sensor settling times and their scientific analysis. In my master thesis I perform an analysis of current performance of Vision Language Models (VLM) for context generation on infrared imagery inside of a car and fine-tune a model based on the results.
In my free time I enjoy playing golf, football and skiing during the winter months. I am also playing in the golf team at TUM and played football at UBC.
I have great interest in 3D-Printing, CAD-Modeling, DIY drones and technological progress in general.
