Hey there, my name is Max. I am a PhD student supervised by Thomas Gärtner in the machine learning research unit at TU Wien. Before that, I studied computer science at the University of Bonn under the supervision of Tamás Horváth. Additionally, I frequently visit and work with the people of the Laila lab in Milan.
My main research areas are learning with graphs, active learning, convexity theory, and learning theory.
