Casual Causality

Hi!

Thanks for being curious about how to work with me! Before jumping into means how to do that, let me describe how I work to ensure we are a good fit.

What can you expect when working with me?

I thrive in open, honest, flat organizational cultures, where people have all three legs of Self-determination Theory
I prefer smaller teams (up to around 8 people) and can benefit the most from one-on-one conversations
I am loyal to the team I am part of; it’s not an option to let anyone fail
I do my best technical work alone, or in front of a whiteboard with a team member
I do my best creative setting in a “casual” environment (think chat with a coffee)
I like things reasonably organized, but aim to avoid unnecessary overhead
Meetings I participate in should be on time, have an agenda, and lead by someone in the team
I am neither the best theoretician nor the best programmer, I deal in ideas - though I have a fairly theoretical approach with a no-nonsense mentality
I am a good high-level, interdisciplinary thinker, my main contribution is connecting the dots between (seemingly) separate fields
My goal is to help everyone succeed. The pie needs to grow
I seek feedback (negative included); I am here to learn from my mistakes
I prefer transparent communication
I will strive to learn about your goals and motivation and you fulfill them

I always have too many ideas and enjoy working with interesting people.

If you are a researcher/Ph.D. student, feel free to reach out via email (and in all other configurations when we can freely start working together, i.e., without the need for a formal agreement such as thesis supervison)
If you are looking for a B.Sc./M.Sc. thesis or an internship/lab rotation, please visit the Robust Machine Learning group’s website to apply - and feel free to mention my name
