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.
