Marvin Pförtner
I am a PhD student in Philipp Hennig’s group at the University of Tübingen and the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS). My research interests lie at the intersection of Bayesian machine learning and numerical analysis. More specifically, my work revolves around
- algorithms for scalable (approximate) Gaussian process inference,
- Gaussian process theory (sample path properties, Gaussian measure theory),
- probabilistic numerical methods for partial differential equations, and
- Bayesian deep learning with Laplace approximations.
I’m also interested in applications of all the above to scientific inference tasks.
I like to tackle problems using the framework of matrix-free (probabilistic) numerical linear algebra, which often leads to elegant and efficient algorithms.
