Hi, I'm Kilian 👋
I'm a Research Software Engineer at Princeton University, working for the Princeton Language and Intelligence initiative.
I specialize in agentic AI for software engineering. I am also continuing to work on graph neural networks for high energy physics experiments.
Apart from that, I'm enthusiastic about open-source projects, learning Japanese, traveling, and photography.
