Curriculum Vitae

Sebastian Maierhofer joined the Cyber-Physical Systems Group in 2019 as a Research Assistant and Ph.D. student under the supervison of Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Althoff. He graduated with the Master of Science degree in Automotive Software Engineering from the Technical University of Munich in 2019. He received the Bachelor of Science degree in Technical Computer Science from OTH Regensburg in 2016.

His research focuses on the formalization of traffic laws for autonomous vehicles, motion planning considering traffic rules, and falsification of motion planners. Currently, Sebastian Maierhofer is working on the BMW CAR@TUM project with the objective to plan trajectories under the consideration of traffic rules as well on the project Proving Accountability in Traffic (PAcT) funded by the Germand Reseach foundation (DFG) with the objective to concretize and formalize traffic rules.
