Welcome to my personal website!
Professionally, I am lecturer and director of the BSc programme in data science at the Zurich University of Applied Sciences (ZHAW), School of Engineering. I love learning, practicing and teaching data science. For my R&D projects I am associated with the Centre for Artificial Intelligence.
Before building up and running the data science programme at ZHAW, I worked at Swiss Re on a variety of projects in the fields of geo data modelling, natural language processing, credit risk and (re)insurance costing modelling. As a secondary employment I was teaching in the Master’s programme in Applied Information Science at the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts. My academic background is in the field of computational chemistry - you can find here the list of topics and corresponding publications from that time at EPFL.
Outside of work, I enjoy being out in nature, be it on my bike, on skis or, if all tools really fail, on foot.
