About — in the speaker's own words
I received my PhD in high energy physics at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in 2011. Then I joined Blue Yonder, a provider of cloud-based predictive applications for the retail market, where I led the Machine Learning core team and developed, among other things, new methods for demand forecasting and shaping. In 2018, Blue Yonder got acquired by JDA (subsequently re-branded to Blue Yonder), a leading provider of supply chain management software, and in 2021, the merged company got, in turn, acquired by Panasonic. As Corporate Vice President and Blue Yonder fellow, I am now advising on overall Data Science strategies and driving research toward an autonomous supply chain powered by Artificial Intelligence. Moreover, I am lecturer for Machine Learning at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
