Hertie AI Independent Research Groups  

About the Hertie AI Independent Research Groups

We support postdocs who are leading their own research group for the first time in building their independent scientific careers. Through our Independent Research Groups, we provide them with the opportunity to pursue innovative approaches in data science and artificial intelligence to advance their own research projects. We foster knowledge exchange and provide access to cutting-edge algorithms and interdisciplinary resources, enabling them to address scientific and clinical questions while developing sustainable, independent research.

The Hertie AI currently hosts 3 Independent Research Groups focussing on xxxxx xxxxx and xxxxxx. 

Prof. Dr. Philipp Berens is Full Professor of Data Science at the University of Tübingen and Director of the Hertie Institute for AI in Brain Health. Also, he is Speaker of the Excellence Cluster “Machine Learning – New Perspectives for Science” and is part of the core faculty of the Tübingen AI Center. His goal is to use machine learning to enable discoveries in basic and clinical neuroscience, with a focus on ophthalmology. He is interested in developing new algorithms whose output can be integrated into scientific or clinical workflows. His work has been recognized with a DFG Heisenberg Professorship, an ERC Starting Grant and the Bernstein Award of the German Ministry for Science and Education.
