Introductory overview to this website, my interests, education and skills

Well, I guess I should play the same game on this platform as well.
I'm still (barely) on the job market.
I finished a B.Sc. in Information Systems and worked at the Fraunhofer Institute in Kassel on DeepReinforcement Learning, Data- and Research Software Engineering, see:

Reminder Superman is not a power fantasy, he's an altruism fantasy.
The idea of someone with godlike powers using them solely for good (with an antagonist who is a billionaire, who by definition do the opposite) was dreamt up by Jewish kids in the 30s and its just as if not more relevant now.

👼 As an applied RL researcher, this is the most optimistic I have been about RL in years. It feels like seeing the light at the end of the tunnel when RL training starts working reliably. Without a ton of compute or tuning. Very excited for what is to come. Here is what we did👇

The lack of long-term contracting in Denmark explains why no developers stepped forward. In recent research, I and co-authors show that markets w/o robust long-term contracting see less wind (& solar) investment and potentially more fossil fuel investment. 4/9 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

A cautionary tale unfolded last week as Denmark failed to attract bids for offshore wind. What can we learn from this?
This is a multi-dimensional problem, but the primary lesson I believe is that Denmark wrongly expected developers to take on market risk. 🧵🔌💡1/9

Failed offshore auction highlights how Denmark missed winds of change
Denmark's failure to attract any bids in an offshore wind power tender this week stems from a rigid auction model, a failure to adapt to a changed economic reality for renewable energy projects and rising competition, analysts said on Friday.
