Welcome to my Homepage!
I am managing the Applied Games Group (together with Ralf Herbrich) as part of the Machine Learning and Perception Group at Microsoft Research Cambridge. Our work is focused on the application of machine learning techniques to games where games can refer to fun games such as computer games, go, or poker, as well as to competitive decision problems in the real world such as auctions and marketplaces.
Before joining the Cambridge lab of Microsoft Research, I was a postdoctoral researcher at the Department of Computer Science at Royal Holloway, University of London working on learning theory and machine learning algorithms with Prof. John Shawe-Taylor. View the beautiful campus of Royal Holloway here.
Before that, I worked with Nici Schraudolph and Prof. Petros Koumoutsakos as a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute of Computational Science (ICOS) which is part of the Department of Computer Science of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology, Zürich (ETH). Topics of research were machine learning and large-scale nonlinear optimisation.
I received my doctorate (Dr. rer. nat) from the Department of Computer Science of the Technical University of Berlin, where I was first a member of the Neural Information Processing group of Prof. Klaus Obermayer and later joined the Statistics group of Prof. Ulrich Kockelkorn. My homepage from the good old days at TU Berlin can be found here.
