Multiple PhD and postdoctoral positions @ University of Stuttgart / CyberValley
Mathias Niepert
The Machine Learning and Simulation Science (MLSim) research group is led by Mathias Niepert, a full professor (W3) at the University of Stuttgart (official start date: 1/1/2022). Homepage: http://matlog.net
The group will be part of the Cluster of Excellence for the Simulation Sciences (SimTech) and the department of Computer Science at the University of Stuttgart. Mathias is also a faculty member of the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS) and his professorship will be part of the wider CyberValley ecosystem. The University of Stuttgart has also a unit in the ELLIS network.
The MLSim group is working on core machine learning research with a focus on graph neural networks and geometric deep learning, the synthesis of discrete (algorithmic) components and continuous learning systems, and the intersection of machine learning and the simulation sciences. If you are interested in our work (published regularly at ICML, NeurIPS, AAAI, EMNLP, IJCAI, ICLR) please take a look at the publication section of this website and visit our video channel.
