Postdoctoral researchers

Philipp Adämmer is a scientific researcher with focus on financial econometrics and mechine learning, text mining, and big data. His teaching activities aim to bring basic understanding and competency in data science to the bachelor students from different bachelor programs.

Alexander Scheuerlein is a scientific researcher with focus on statistical methods for applied zoology and nature conservation. His teaching activities aim to bring basic understanding and competency in data science to the bachelor students from different bachelor programs.

Alexandra Moringen is a lecturer and a scientific researcher interested in interdisciplinary approaches to modeling complex cognitive behaviors for robots and humans. In particular, she is interested in approaches that allow modeling and inference in the domains where only a small number of (multimodal) data points can be acquired. 

Martin Aleksandrov is a scientific researcher with focus on Artificial Intelligence, Social Choice, Fair Division, Economic Inequality, Autonomous Vehicles, Data-driven Logistics, and Explainable AI. His research activities aim to advance the state-of-the-art in these areas through leading and contributing to projects funded by the DAAD, German Research Foundation, and European Research Council.
