He is a leading researcher in the machine learning community, where he is particularly active in the field of kernel methods. He has made particular contributions to support vector machines and kernel PCA. A large part of his work is the development of novel machine learning algorithms through their formulation as (typically convex) optimisation problems. since 2011: Director at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (Managing Director 152011 - 3112013) 2001 – 2010: Director at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics (Managing Director 182006– 3172009) 2000 – 2001: Group leader at the biotech startup Biowulf Technologies, New York 1999 – 2000: Researcher at Microsoft Research Limited., Cambridge 1997 – 1999: Researcher at GMD (German National Research Center for Computer Science), Berlin 1997: Doctor of Philosophy in Computer Science (Technology Union Berlin) 2014 2012 2011 2010.
