Curriculum Vitae

Gerald Würsching joined the Cyber Physical Systems Group as a research assistant and PhD student under the supervision of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Althoff in 2020. He recieved his Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in mechanical engineering from the Technical University of Munich in 2017 and 2020, respectively. His research interests include techniques for safe and robust motion planning for autonomous vehicles.
