I am the deputy head of the Media Engineering Department, head of the business unit Cognitive Business Optimization and a senior research data scientist at Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information Systems (IAIS) in Sankt Augustin Germany. I am also currently teaching Msc. level data science courses as a guest lecturer to students of University of Bonn and RWTH Aachen University at Bonn-Aachen International Center for Information Technology. My current research focus is based on statistical data mining in the context of representation learning for a variety of industry applications involving behavioral analytics, digital forensics and text mining. Before joining Fraunhofer, I worked as a data scientist in the games industry, where I mainly concentrated on developing large scale machine learning solutions for business intelligence problems. I often give talks and organize workshops about representation learning and behavioral analytics in scientific conferences and industrial summits.
