Working on agent-based fish models, using machine learning to bridge the gap between the swarm behavior and the individual behavior. Observer bias is avoided, by training the behavior directly from recordings of real fish. An additional topic is extending attribution methods to explain the models on different time- and swarm scales.

Lukas is a Research Assistant who focuses on developing and implementing chatbot systems for the PatraKiP and PIA projects. His role encompasses engineering software architectures, fine-tuning large language models, and coordinating with academic and clinical partners.

Manuel Heurich

PhD Student
Email

Manuel is working on Model Interpretability (XAI) and Continual Learning. He aims to utilize the understanding of the model’s decision-making to push the boundaries of (online) continual learning.

Marie Messerich

PhD Student
