Hi, I am Andreas!
I'm a postdoctoral researcher at the Institute for Theoretical Physics (ITP) at Heidelberg University, specializing in the intersection of machine learning and astrophysics. I work in the group of Caroline Heneka and within the SciFM initiative.I completed my PhD at Université de Montreal, affiliated with Ciela and Mila, under the supervision of Prof. Laurence Perreault-Levasseur and Prof. Yashar Hezaveh.
My research focuses on using machine learning methods to tackle complex challenges in cosmology, pushing the boundaries of what we can learn about the Universe. I focus on strong gravitational lensing and dark matter. My interest lies in studying subgalactic dark matter with the help of machine learning techniques.
I participated in the Mila Speed Science Contest with the goal to communicate my research effectively to a general audience. You can find the video of my presentation here.
Prior to joining the University of Montreal, I earned my Master's degree in Physics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) in Germany and the Max Planck Institute for Astrophysics (MPA). I conducted my Master's thesis under the supervision of Prof. Sherry Suyu and Dr. Yiping Shu.
