I want to bring AI research into our life to improve the world we live in. Therefore I co-founded Merantix, a Berlin-based venture studio building transformative AI companies in industries such as healthcare and automotive. I’m a strong advocate of pushing deep tech in Europe. Therefore I co-founded and co-lead the German AI association (KI Bundesverband e.V.) representing the majority of Germany’s AI startups, and work closely with the German government on their AI strategy and implementation. What I did previously: * Studied computer science at Oxford, Princeton and ETH Zurich * Obtained a PhD in computer vision and deep learning * Published 15+ papers at top-tier conferences and journals like CVPR, ICCV, and IJCV * Scaled a deep learning powered service that analyzes faces to 150 million users * Founded Europe’s largest hackathon HackZurich in 2014 receiving 5000 applications in 10 days * Spent some time at Google and BCG * Became Robocup Junior world champion
