Hi there, I’m Flim 👋

I’m a robotics student and aspiring researcher from the Netherlands 🇳🇱 at the University of Twente. I’ll be starting my masters thesis at TNO on world models and their application to robot manipulation

My passion is to advance Embodied AI through Foundation Models and RL to enable real-world reasoning and autonomy.

Welcome to my little corner of the internet 😊
