Kristof Schröder

After completing his PhD in applied mathematics, specializing in applied harmonic and numerical analysis, Kristof developed a keen interest in the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. This interest inspired him to transition his career towards AI engineering, where he spent the next five years working on various machine learning projects. In May 2023, he joined the TransferLab team.
