At a company with 70 employees, it is interesting to take a look behind the scenes and see what our colleagues work on all day. Our colleague Dr Karsten Schwalbe starts things off today. After many years as a research associate at Chemnitz University of Technology (TU Chemnitz), he has been with us since 2018. As head of the specialist group for Mathematical Methods and Algorithms, he works on numerous projects in the fields of artificial intelligence, in particular machine learning, digital image processing, and time series analysis. He also gives talks on these topics at scientific events and strives to bring applied mathematics closer to his audience. His daily work draws on the knowledge from his studies in Computational Science (Rechnergestützte Naturwissenschaften) and his subsequent doctorate in theoretical physics here at TU Chemnitz.
In addition, he serves as a reviewer for the accreditation agency Acquin in the fields of mathematics, computer science, and physics. In an accreditation, professors as well as students and representatives of professional practice assess the concept and implementation of individual degree programmes with regard to compliance with formal and subject-specific criteria.
