I am a senior lecturer (“Dozent”) 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/Deep Learning methods for Computer Vision, building Machine Learning Systems (MLOps), Trustworhy 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.
