This week, Mike has successfully defended his PhD. Mike’s presentation was inspiring—just as his research leading to this PhD. Mike contributed to a variety of topics, ranging from high-dimensional statistics to generative models. However, Mike’s presentation showed that all these topics still fit a general notion of bias. You can find Mike’s papers in the publications tab on our homepage.

We were really fortunate to have Mike on our team for four years. It was also a great pleasure to co-advise Mike with Asja Fischer. Asja is an amazing researcher and mentor. I am sure we will have many more collaborations to come!
