Josip Josifovski
Welcome to my personal website! I’m Josip, a final-year PhD student at the Technical University of Munich and a research assistant at the Chair for Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, and Real-Time Systems. I’m currently based in the UK, where I am on a research visit at the University of Cambridge.
My research interests lie at the intersection of robotics and machine learning. Specifically, I focus on simulation-based continual robot learning models and their subsequent transfer to the real world.
I hold a master’s degree in Intelligent Adaptive Systems from the University of Hamburg and a bachelor’s degree in Informatics and Computer Engineering from the Ss. Cyril and Methodius University in Skopje.
