Dr. Bastian Rieck
Principal Investigator Helmholtz Pioneer CampusResearch Area
Bastian received both his M.Sc. degree in mathematics (graduated with distinction) and his Ph.D. ('summa cum laude') in computer science from Heidelberg University in Germany. He subsequently worked as a (senior) postdoctoral researcher at the Machine Learning and Computational Biology Lab of ETH Zurich in Switzerland. Bastian's research primarily focuses on the development of topological machine learning techniques in the context of healthcare applications. He also has a keen interest in developing techniques that improve our understanding of neural networks.
