Scientific Interests

I'm also part of the Model Data Integration group at the MPI for Biogeochemistry in Jena. I'm interested in applying novel machine learning methods on biogeochemical data. At the moment I'm mainly working on causal inference.

If you like, have a look at our group homepage where you can find publications, data, code, etc..
