About Me

Hi, I'm Philipp.

I am a Data Science student at Queen Mary University of London, writing my thesis with Dr Iran Roman. We are researching together with Meta Reality Research Labs to develop the next generation of direction of arrival estimation. It's quite fun.

Bachelor's Thesis – Entire Vehicle E/E-Development – Diagnostics

Apr 2025 - Aug 2025

5 months
Developed a tracing algorithm that combines diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) from peripheral ECUs with logs from zonal controllers using statistical methods, designed to run on in-vehicle embedded systems.
Built a Java proof of concept to demonstrate feasibility.
When implemented in production, the approach indicates potential for up to 30% data compression, improved encryption and anonymisation, simpler backend processing, and shorter workshop repair time.
The patent is currently pending and an IEEE Open Journal of Vehicular Technology submission is in preparation.
