Dr. Giuseppe Casalicchio

About

I finished my PhD at the Working Group Computational Statistics in early 2019 focussing on bechmark experiments, evaluation of machine learning models, and the emerging field of interpretable machine learning. During my PhD, I was also heavily involved in the contribution and development of a variety software projects.

Since March 2019, I am supporting this chair within the framework of the Munich Center for Machine Learning (MCML) as education manager of the Data Science Certificate Program and as PostDoc leading the interpretable machine learning research group. Besides of this, I am part-time CEO of a LMU spin-off education company called Essential Data Science Training GmbH.
