Curriculum Vitae

Tim Walter joined the Cyber Physical Systems Group as a doctoral student under the supervision of Matthias Althoff in July 2025. He received his bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering and Information Technology in a dual program with Rohde & Schwarz from the University of Applied Sciences Munich (HM) and his master's degree in Computational Science and Engineering from the Technical University Munich (TUM).

His research interests include:

• Reinforcement learning from analytic gradients
• Safe reinforcement learning
• Algorithmic design of robot morphologies
• Modular robots

Open Thesis Projects & Student Research Opportunities

I am always looking for self-motivated students who want to do research in my field. Whether you already have your own idea or just general interest, please reach out and follow these steps:

1. Explore my research interests (summarized above and publications below) to see what aligns with your curiosity. Think about what specific topics or questions excite you the most.
2. Write me an email that includes your CV, a current transcript of records, and a concise statement of motivation.
3. If I have capacities, I will schedule a meeting. To make the most of it, please come prepared to discuss what you hope to achieve and learn during a thesis supervised by me.
