I am head of the Max Planck Research Group for Machine Learning Theory. The group belongs to the new Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (formerly to the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics) in Tübingen, Germany, and is partly hosted by the Department of Computer Science at the University of Hamburg.
News:- At some point in 2012, I'm going to become a full professor at Hamburg University, funded by the German Research Foundation in the "Heisenberg Professorship" programme.
- The German Research Foundation decided to fund our new Forschergruppe "Structural Inference in Statistics: Adaptation and Efficiency". Link to the DFG news Preliminary webpage
Scientific interests
In a broad sense, my field of research is the statistical analysis of machine learning algorithms. More particular, I am currently working on two major topics: Statistical analysis of algorithms on (random) graphs and theoretical foundations of clustering. For a short description see here.
My research won several awards :-)
Stuff I do / did
- I am organizing a Mini-Symposium on "Machine Learning" at the Annual Meeting of the German Mathematical Society, September 2012, Saarbrücken, together with Matthias Hein
- I am action editor of JMLR and was associate editor at Statistics and Computing
- I was Program Chair of COLT 2011 (together with Sham Kakade)
- I regularly serve in the program committees of COLT, NIPS, and ICML
- I am a member of the Junge Akademie (Young Academy). From summer 2012 on, I am going to serve in its executive board as well.
- I organized a couple workshops in the past.
