Biography

I am a PhD candidate within the GIScience group at the Department of Geography. I focus on the application of statistical- and machine learning techniques to address research questions related to environmental issues.

At the same time I am working for the Department of Statistics at LMU Munich to develop the R package framework mlr3. Currently I also maintain the mlr package.

Besides the scientific part my interests lie in the development of programming solutions to simplify todays data science challenges. I am working in a reproducible manner and actively working on promoting the idea of reproducible research in science. I like to write about the Linux world, the R programming world and other technical topics that I find interesting.
