Applied and InterpretableMachine Learning Research Group

People

Who is here, and what each of them works on.

Members work across the four research lines, from bachelor’s projects to PhD work.

Lead

Serkan Ayvaz

Associate Professor of Software Engineering

Machine learning, software architecture and data-intensive systems, from predictive maintenance on production lines to retrieval for language models. PhD in Computer Science, Kent State University.

Members

Riccardo Terrenzi

PhD Fellow

Dataset search: content-based table retrieval, generated metadata, and provenance in retrieval over knowledge graphs. MSc in Computer Science and Engineering, Politecnico di Milano.

Ane Cathrine Holst Merrild

PhD Fellow

Toygar Tanyel

Visiting Researcher

Interpretability across medical imaging, biosignals and language models, and what still holds once a method has to run in production. Built the breast cancer detection stack behind the first MDR-CE certified radiology AI from Türkiye, and the multi-agent orchestration behind a platform that handles open-ended requests from tens of thousands of people.

Phongsakon Mark Konrad

Research Collaborator

Interested in deep learning theory and the mechanics of learning, particularly how optimisation shapes learning dynamics and the representations neural networks learn. Incoming MSc Machine Learning student at the University of Tübingen; BSc in Software Engineering from SDU.
