Hi, I'm Romeo

Currently, I am working on certification protocols for machine learning systems in safety-critical domains; first in aerospace, but with future plans for medical, finance, and public policy. To progress with this task, I have been fortunate to join the Stanford Intelligent Systems Lab. If you’re around Stanford and are interested in talking to me, let’s have a coffee!

My background is in computational mathematics, both theory and implementation, and mathematical optimization, which I applied to process systems optimization during my time at CMU. I have also worked in robotics, including embedded control, motion planning and autonomous navigation.

Prior to moving to Palo Alto I have lived in Aachen, Pittsburgh, Stuttgart, Zürich, and in my hometown Holtum. I love traveling and have traversed Vietnam and Peru by motorcycle (highly recommended), and backpacked through parts of Mexico (come for the party, stay for the nature and food). I am also an avid ballroom dancer and current vice-president of Stanford’s competitive ballroom team, currently dabbling in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and used to be a pretty good fencer during my teens.

My interests include:

• ML certification for safety-critical systems
• Probabilistic ML, Uncertainty quantification, Causality & Disentanglement
• Decision making under uncertainty
• Efficient algorithms for combinatorial optimization
• Contributions to open science and open source software
• Meeting Donald Knuth ✔️
