Hi, I am Johannes Heeg,

PhD student in mathematics,

working on AI for control

My name is Johannes Heeg and I am a doctoral student in mathematics at the Technische Universität Ilmenau. I am supervided by Karl Worthmann and focus on topics around active learning and the Koopman operator framework.

In the past, I studied Computational Engineering and Mathematics at the Technical University of Darmstadt and the University of Stuttgart and hold a master’s degree in Computational Engineering. During my studies, I focused on robot learning and wrote my master’s thesis on ”Task-space exploration in robot reinforcement learning” under the supervision of Jan Peters. Prior to joining the TU Ilmenau, I was a research intern at Davide Scaramuzza’s Lab at the University of Zurich, where I worked on differentiable simulation for learning quadrotor control.

In my free time, I like to sing and play music, and I am a member of several ensembles. You can check out a barbershop performance or ask me about the next concert dates if you are interested.
