Background
  • Currently a Thomas Bayes Fellow and interim professor at the Chair of Statistical Learning and Data Science, Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München (LMU), funded by the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML).
  • Aims to simplify machine learning usage for domain scientists and improve efficiency for expert users.
  • Focuses on Automated Machine Learning (AutoML), including hyperparameter optimization, meta-learning, and model selection.
  • Advocates for multi-objective AutoML that considers interpretability, deployability, and fairness beyond predictive performance.
  • Actively contributes to multiple open-source AutoML projects and co-founded the Open Machine Learning Foundation supporting OpenML.org.
