Scholarly intro toot.

My research spans multiple areas of #computerscience, specifically #ArtificialIntelligence and #MachineLearning. I focuss on algorithms, tools and theory at the intersection of ML, Optimization and Probabilistic Modelling. In particular I look at domains with #spatialdynamics and large #streaming datasets. I often work in collaboration with researchers in other fields such as sustainable #forestmanagement, #ecology, #automotive #selfdriving and #medicalimaging.
