Principal Research Scientist & Research Manager · SAP AI CTO Office
I help teams turn advanced AI research into working systems for enterprise data, agentic workflows, and AI-native products. I lead ML research at the SAP AI CTO Office, and advise startups as a scientific advisor on agentic systems, generative UI, and applied AI strategy.
My background spans enterprise AI, NLP, multimodal representation learning, privacy-preserving AI, and controllable generation. I have authored 50+ publications at venues including ACL, EMNLP, CVPR, and MICCAI, and I am a co-inventor on 30+ patents in industrial and enterprise AI.
