Subject

I'm Chief Expert for Data & AI at Bosch and enterprise architect in Bosch's global data strategy team. Besides, I'm active as guest researcher and lecturer at the University of Stuttgart. My overall area of expertise is industrial analytics, i.e., data management and data analytics in industrial value creation, with a current focus on data lakes and data strategies.

Read my Communications of the ACM paper on "There is No AI Without Data" to get an overview of my current work.

Find out more about the Industrial Data Lab as a cooperation between Bosch and the University of Stuttgart.
