Organizers
Moritz Neun
Researcher and director of research engineering at IARAI. His background is geo-spatial big data processing and analytics, geo-spatial search and transport optimization. As an engineer and researcher he is interested in the intersection between ML for geo-spatial problems and their application at scale.
Christian Eichenberger
Researcher and engineer at IARAI. His background is theoretical computer science (algebraic information theory) and transport engineering. He is interested in bridging the gap in research between traffic domain and ML, and in temporal-spatial processes. He has worked as a software engineer and researcher in the railway industry and was involved in the FLATland NeurIPS challenge 2020 on the problem of train scheduling in a simple grid world environment.
Henry Martin
PhD Student in Geoinformatics at the Chair of Geoinformation Engineering at ETH Zurich and at IARAI. He was was part of the team that won the second place at the NeurIPS 2019 Traffic4cast competition. In his PhD he is interested in applying modern data analysis methods to spatio-temporal problems related to human mobility and investigating the role of mobility in our way towards a more sustainable energy system.
Pedro Herruzo
Pre-doctoral research fellow at IARAI and a PhD candidate at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Barcelona. His research focuses on rule detection and generalization in deep learning with applications to spatiotemporal data. Previously he worked as a machine learning consultant modeling mobility at SEAT, S.A., and on the explainable AI of lifestyle patterns in egocentric images at the University of Barcelona.
David Jonietz
Researcher at HERE Technologies with a background in the geo-spatial and transportation domains. With his research interests lying mainly in the intersection of computational movement analytics and deep learning, he has extensive scientific experience in the field of knowledge extraction from large trajectory datasets.
Daniel Springer
Postdoctoral researcher at IARAI, with a background in theoretical condensed matter physics. His main interests concern the conceptual and theoretical understanding of existing machine learning approaches as well as their
extension towards biologically performant frameworks.
Markus Spanring
Postdoctoral researcher at IARAI, with a background in data science, data analysis and particle physics. During his PhD, he worked within the CMS collaboration at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN as a physicist and data scientist, where he developed machine learning-based analysis techniques to probe Higgs boson decays to tau leptons.
Avi Avidan
