I am a machine learning researcher at Microsoft Research Redmond. My research focuses broadly on applied AI and data-centric methods in organizational contexts and, more specifically, on the representation of geospatial phenomena in machine learning methods. Beyond that, I am interested in the application of these methods in urban environments and to tackle climate change. In my free time, I volunteer for Climate Change AI where I served for two terms on the board until fall 2022. Before my current role, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Microsoft Research New England. I completed my PhD at the University of Warwick and New York University, supervised by Stephen Jarvis (U Birmingham), Daniel Neill (NYU) and Hongkai Wen (U Warwick / Samsung AI). I was also an Enrichment student at the Alan Turing Institute and a Beyond Fellow at TUM / DLR. I hold a Bachelors degree in Economics from the University of Freiburg (Germany) and a Masters in Transportation from Imperial College and University College London.
