Data Science Research Group

The Data Science Research Group focuses on core data science research, as well as on applications where data science can provide insights for decision making. We formulate novel data science problems and develop algorithmic methods and methodological workflows.

About me

I am a Senior Lecturer in Data Science and Machine Learning, holding a B.Sc. (2010), M.Sc. (2012), and Ph.D. (2017) in Computer Science. My primary research area is explainable and interpretable machine learning (explainable AI), with a particular emphasis on temporal data, such as time series. In this context, I explore methods and systems capable of providing answers to questions such as "Why was this prediction made?" (explanations) and "What changes would be required for an alternative outcome?" (counterfactual explanations).

I am currently teaching the following courses:

  • Research topics in Data science (RTDS)
  • Programming 2 (PROG2)
  • Parallel and distributed programming (PARADIS)
  • Data mining (DATM)

I also supervise B.Sc. and M.Sc. theses.



AI to detect unclear insurance claims

Can AI help us come to terms with fraud? In this project, we use machine learning models to identify indicators for unclear insurance claims in order to deter suspicious damage payments and insurance fraud.
