About Me
I work on identifying compound climate drivers of high impact events using deep learning. Currently I am working on finding climate drivers of extremely high forest mortality. I train deep learning models like Variational Auto-Encoders , Transformers, Diffusion Models, etc and try to modify their structure to make them more eXplainable. I started my PhD in Compound weather and climate events group under the supervision of Prof. Dr Jakob Zscheischler.
