I'm a Ph.D. candidate in the Machine Learning group supervised by Prof. Margret Keuper. My research interests are computer vision in climate change related applications and foundation models. My research is funded by the BMBF Project Climate Visions (16DKWN027b).

ClimateVisions

Working with an inter-disciplinary project group, we investigate how climate change is discussed on social media.
