Max Zimmer
Third-year PhD candidate in Mathematics at TU Berlin
Doctoral Researcher at the IOL Lab of Zuse Institute Berlin (ZIB)
Advisor: Prof. Dr. Sebastian Pokutta
Research: My research interests focus on Deep Learning, Efficient ML, and Optimization. Specifically, I work on enhancing the efficiency of large Neural Networks through sparsity, pruning, quantization, and low-rank optimization. Additionally, I am interested in Federated Learning, Explainability & Fairness, as well as applying ML to solve pure mathematics problems. Please take a look at my list of publications and feel free to reach out for questions or potential collaborations!
Previously: Before joining IOL as a student researcher in 2020, I worked on Nash Flows over Time with Leon Sering at the COGA Group at TU Berlin. During my BSc and MSc in Mathematics at 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. Since 2022, I have been a member of the BMS graduate school, part of the MATH+ Cluster of Excellence. You can find my full CV here.
