Our group has a new PhD vacancy in solar energy forecasting coming up. Drop me a message with your full CV, motivation letter, graduation certificates, Github profile if you are interested. 

Research

I am a Professor of Applied Machine Learning at BFH and an Assistant Professor of Energy Meteorology at TU Delft. My research aims at developing intelligent decision support systems to increase the resilience and sustainability of industrial and energy systems with sensor-driven and machine learning approaches. Before joining BFH, I was a doctoral and postdoctoral researcher at ETH Zurich, developed machine learning and predictive maintenance applications at the R&D centre of Hexagon AB, and led a remote condition monitoring R&D program at Siemens Smart Infrastructure. Our research group of six PhD and postdoctoral researchers is supported by the Swiss Innovation Agency Innosuisse and the Swiss National Science Foundation.
