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. My main research areas are learning with graphs, active learning, and learning theory. I try to bridge (graph) convexity theory and learning theory. More recently I have started working on graph representations learning and graph neural networks.
[Mar '24] | Visited Marco Bressan and Nicolò Cesa-Bianchi at the University of Milan supported by an ELLIS / ELISE travel grant. |
[Mar '24] | We are organising the Mining and Learning with Graphs workshop (MLG) at ECMLPKDD in Vilnius. Submit your work! |
[Nov '23] | Happy to receive a DOC fellowship of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (ÖAW) to continue my PhD studies for two more years! |
[Nov '23] | Two papers accepted at the 2nd LoG conference with Franka Bause (Uni Vienna), Andrei Brasoveanu, Fabian Jogl, and Pascal Welke. |
[Nov '23] | Happy to be again recognised as a top reviewer of NeurIPS. |
[Oct '23] | Together with Franka Bause (Uni Vienna), Fabian Jogl, Patrick Indri, Tamara Drucks, David Penz, Nils Kriege (Uni Vienna), Thomas Gärtner, and Pascal Welke we got our paper Maximally Expressive GNNs for Outerplanar Graphsaccepted as an oral at GLFrontiers@NeurIPS. |
[Sep '23] | Together with Fabian Jogl and Thomas Gärtner we got our paper Expressivity-Preserving GNN Simulationaccepted to NeurIPS '23! |
[Jul '23] | I won a best poster award at G-Research's ICML poster party in London. |
[Mai '23] | Together with Pascal Welke, Fabian Jogl, and Thomas Gärtner we got our paper Expectation-Complete Graph Representations with Homomorphismsaccepted to ICML '23! |
