Moritz Böhle

I am a post doc researcher at Kyutai in Paris. Before that, I did a PhD at the Computer Vision and Machine Learning group at the Max Planck Institute for Informatics in Saarbrücken, Germany, where I was advised by Prof. Bernt Schiele and Prof. Mario Fritz. My research is focused on interpretable, trustworthy, and responsible deep learning. Before commencing my doctoral studies, I obtained a Bachelor’s degree in Physics at the Free University in Berlin, Germany, in 2016 and a Master’s degree at the Bernstein Center for Computational Neuroscience in Berlin, Germany, in 2019.
