About

Since May 2019 I am a PhD student at LMU, supervised by Prof. Moritz Grosse-Wentrup (Universität Wien) and Prof. Bernd Bischl. I am interested in causality and interpretable machine learning with applications in precision medicine.

I obtained my Bachelor's Degree (B.Sc.) in Information Systems at TU Munich and my Master's Degree (M.Sc.) in Data Science at LMU.
