Andreas Blum

Who I am

• Practical Training:My career began after obtaining my Abitur (university entrance qualification) as a plant mechanic, which gave me a deep understanding of structure, precision, and efficiency. I realized that knowledge is of no use if it is not skillfully applied.
• Academic Degrees:I completed my Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering with an overall grade of 1.9 at the Technical University of Munich (TUM), placing me among the top 2% in mechanical engineering nationwide according to case. I am expected to complete my Master's degrees in Mechatronics and Robotics and Mechanical Engineering at TUM in May 2025. Since my bachelor's thesis, I have specialized in autonomous vehicles – specifically the perception module of a software pipeline for autonomous racing cars. This module not only enables racing cars but any conceivable robot to perceive its environment through different sensor modalities, localize itself, and simultaneously build a photorealistic map of the surroundings. The application of deep learning also allows for embedding semantic information into the map, enabling the robot to gain a profound understanding of its environment, reliably recognize objects, and plan safe trajectories.
• Entrepreneurial Vision:In addition to Andreas Blum Media, I have implemented projects such as global crowdfunding campaigns and supported companies in their founding, which has given me valuable insights into the needs of start-ups. With Andreas Blum Media, I support SMEs and established companies, making me familiar with their daily challenges. My solution-oriented nature makes it a pleasure for me to address and solve these challenges.
