Welcome to my private github pages. The pages present a collection of my past works in research and software development and some texts with a focus on sustainability and environmental protection.
I am a Data Scientist with a background in Computational Neuroscience and Physics. I am working as a Data Science Leader at KPMG Ignition Tokyo. Please note that this website and its contents reflect my personal views and not the views of my employer.
I used to be a researcher in Computational Neuroscience and Machine Learning. I am holding a Master’s degree in Physics (from Heidelberg University) and a PhD in natural sciences. In my PhD, I did research in Computational Neuroscience and developed a bottom-up network model of a macaque monkey’s visual cortex. After my PhD, I moved into Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning.
My current interests span topics from Artificial Intelligence and Statistics to Sustainability and Environmental Protection. In AI and Statistics, I am interested in Bayesian Data Analysis and Causal Inference. I believe that Causal Inference and its combination with Machine Learning and AI will be the “next big thing” both in (business-oriented, practical) Data Science as well as in (academic) research of Artificial Intelligence.
An even more important topic is the ecological and climate crisis that humanity is facing. I am trying to contribute to a solution by being a volunteer at GermanZero, an initiative that wrote a legislative to enable Germany to fulfil its contribution to the 1.5°C target of the Paris agreement. Furthermore, I am trying to learn as much as possible about the topics relevant to solving the crisis, the science, the technology and the politics around it. On the texts page, you can find posts that I wrote about the topic summarizing my views and knowledge.
