Curriculum Vitae

Florian Lercher joined the Cyber Physical Systems Group as a research assistant and PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Althoff in April 2023. He received his Bachelor's degree in Informatics from Technical University of Munich in 2020 and his Master's degree in Software Engineering from the University of Augsburg, Technical University of Munich, and Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität Munich in 2022. His research revolves around traffic rule-compliant motion planning for autonomous vehicles. In particular, he focuses on specification-compliant reachability analysis to accelerate motion planners by limiting their search space.
