Applied Artificial Intelligence

I am interested in applying AI techniques to real-world business problems. 

Selected research projects

1. Kompetenzzentrum für Arbeit und KI (Competence Center for Labour and AI): Applying AI for the manufacturing industry. Partners: Technische Universität Darmstadt, Hochschule Darmstadt, 9 companies, 2 trade unions, 2 industry organizations, 2 state ministries; federally funded (BMBF)
2. DBT Benchmarking: Using machine learning in psychotherapy treatment in cooperation with Zentralinstitut für Seelische Gesundheit (ZI), DBT-Dachverband e.V., Deuschel & Schüller GbR; state funded.
3. ProDok 4.0: Semantic project documentation for manufacturing processes in cooperation with KUKA Robotics, ISRA Vision, DictaJet; federally funded (BMBF)
4. SemAntically integrating Genomics with Electronic health records for Cancer CARE  (SAGE-CARE) in cooperation with NSilico Lifescience Ltd (Ireland), University of Edinburgh, Parallel Computing Centre (United Kingdom), UBITECH Ltd (Greece). EU-funded (Horizon 2020)
5. Multimedia Library Platform / Multimedia Museum Platform in co-operation with Städel Museum, University & State Library, and others (state funded). Winner of the 2015 World Summit Award, Culture & Tourism; Winner of the 2014 State of Hesse Research Award (Universities of Applied Sciences)

I am also interested in the implications of AI on society.

Software Architecture

I am interested in software architecture from the small to the very large (Service-Oriented Architectures), based on my 11-year experience in the software industry. I also think that we can do much better in programming and I am interested in improving programming languages and development environments.
