Background

Sebastian joined Cranfield University in June 2024 as a PhD student in Aerospace Engineering, specializing in autonomous multi-robot systems for rapid and extended traversal in extreme planetary environments. Prior to this, he earned both his MSc and BSc in Computer Science from the University of Hamburg in Germany.

Since 2017, Sebastian has been an active participant in the RoboCup competition, garnering multiple awards with his team. These achievements include a first-place finish at the Brazil Open in 2021 and a third-place finish at the World Championship the same year. He has been officially involved with the RoboCup Humanoid League as a Technical Committee member since 2022, and in 2024, he was selected to join the Executive Committee.

At the University of Hamburg, Sebastian worked as both a teaching assistant and a research assistant, where he taught two undergraduate courses. Additionally, he published a paper titled Fast and Reliable Stand-Up Motions for Humanoid Robots Using Spline Interpolation and Parameter Optimization at IEEE ICAR.
