Applied Scientist at AWS AI.

I’m an Applied Scientist at AWS AI in Berlin, where I work on AutoGluon. Currently my research focuses on time series forecasting and AutoML.

I did a PhD in machine learning at the Technical University of Munich, supervised by Stephan Günnemann. During my PhD I primarily worked on temporal point processes (TPPs) — probabilistic models for continuous-time event sequences, such as user activity on social media or earthquake sequences in seismology.

If you want to learn more about my research, have a look at my blog or my PhD thesis.
