I am a senior lecturer and group leader at Zuerich University of Applied Sciences ZHAW, located in Winterthur, Switzerland. I am deputy director of ZHAW’s Centre for Artificial Intelligence CAI, and lead its Intelligent Vision Systems (IVS) research group. I am the scientific coordinator of the PhD programme in Data Science, a collaboration between ZHAW and University of Zurich.

My research focus is on AI and generative Deep Learning methods for image analysis, understanding Machine Learning Systems (MLOps), Trustworthy AI and applications of AI/Deep Learning in the Sciences. I teach lectures at the BSc and MSc level in computer science and data science.

In a previous life, I performed fundamental research in Particle Physics at major international research Labs such as CERN (Geneva) and DESY (Hamburg). In 2012, I contributed to the experimental discovery of the Higgs particle at CERN, whose theoretical prediction was awarded with the 2013 Nobel Prize in Physics. I obtained a PhD in physics from the University of Heidelberg in 2001.
