I'm a professor at the Technical University of Munich in the Informatics Department and a group leader at Helmholtz AI working on causality and socially beneficial machine learning. I'm also part of MCML, the Konrad Zuse School relAI, and ELLIS (and the Munich Unit).

I obtained my PhD in the Cambridge-Tübingen program (with generous donations from Microsoft) as an Ellis student  and member of Pembroke College. During my PhD I interned at Deepmind, Google, and Amazon.

I grew up in Austria, studied Physics and Mathematics in Regensburg, and was fortunate to spend time at Harvard and Stanford during my studies.
