Max Zimmer
Berlin, Germany
I am a second-year PhD candidate at the Institute of Mathematics, TU Berlin under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Sebastian Pokutta and work as a doctoral researcher in the Interactive Optimization and Learning (IOL) research lab at the Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB). My research interests are centered around Machine Learning and Optimization in general. In particular, I am interested in Compression of Neural Networks, Explainability (XAI), Fairness in AI as well as first-order optimization. Since 2022, I am also a member of the BMS graduate school, which is part of the MATH+ Cluster of Excellence.
Before joining IOL in 2020 as a student research assistant, I worked on Nash Flows over Time together with Leon Sering at the Combinatorial Optimization and Graph Algorithms Group (COGA) at TU Berlin. During my BSc and MSc in Mathematics, which I both received from TU Berlin, I got the chance to intern in the research groups of Prof. Sergio de Rosa at Università degli Studi di Napoli Federico II and Prof. Marco Mondelli at IST Austria.
