Hi! I’m Simon, a PhD student in Machine Learning at Ruhr University Bochum. I’m very happy to announce that I got admitted to the ELLIS PhD Program🎆.

My background

I received my B.Eng. in Computer Science from UAS Würzburg-Schweinfurt where I stumbled across Machine Learning. From this point on, I worked as student research assistant in this field and published my Bachelor thesis at IJCNN’22. I quickly realized that a deeper understanding of mathematics is necessary to survive in AI-research. So, I pursued a Master’s in Data Science at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg with a final thesis project at the Pervasive AI Lab @ Uni Pisa in the field of graph neural networks.
