Research

I am broadly interested in Artificial Intelligence with focus on data driven Approaches. My current research covers the detection, representation and evaluation of "change" in data. That means that I am curious about:

• Whether the characteristics of the data and/or its data points are different at different points in time; (Change, as the result)
• The process that makes data characteristics be different at different time points (Change, as in, the process of change).

I conduct research under supervision of Dr. Joerg Sander and Dr. Eleni Stroulia.

I am also curious about Financial Machine Learning, Ethics, Democracy and Philosophy.
