Currently working on
- automated model selection / meta learning, e.g., for time series forecasting (2023 - now)
- exploring AI opportunities for industrial pump manufacturing with Wilo (2022 - now)
- stress-testing USB accelerators for inference on the edge (2023)
Recent works
- comprehensible reporting of machine learning results and model properties via (care) labels (2022)
- assessing model efficiency to make machine learning more resource-aware, in analogy to EU energy labels (2022)
Also interested in
- International cooperation (voluntary work as international coordinator of the Computer Science faculty)
- Explainability, sustainability
- Inter-disciplinary work (science communication, expert in the loop, ...)
