Welcome to the Institute of Computer Science
04/02/2024We warmly welcome Prof. Dr. Damien Garreau as University Professor for Theory of Machine Learning at the Institute of Computer Science and the Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS).
Damien Garreau is a mathematician by training, working on the theory of machine learning. At the moment, his research focuses on the theoretical foundations of explainable AI. Can we show that existing methodology makes sense? Or, on the contrary, can we find some realistic failure cases?
Damien studied mathematics in École Normale Supérieure (Paris). After graduating in 2012, he briefly worked in the private sector before starting a PhD at Inria (Paris) on the topic of "Kernel change-point detection." He defended in 2017, and then joined the Max-Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (Tübingen) as a postdoctoral researcher for two years. In 2019, he joined Université Côte d'Azur (Nice) where he was an associate professor until he joined the University of Würzburg.
We're very much looking forward in working with him and wish a good start at the University of Würzburg
