Frequently Asked Questions

Internships

Can I join your group for an internship?

If after surfing my whole website you are still motivated in doing your project in my group, then you are likely welcome to join. However, this changes along the year, because I do not always have enough time to supervise students, and because some projects might not be available anymore. Also, although I often have projects that are suitable for a bachelor or masters thesis, the subjects vary and some may not suit your background.

: We have two open masters theses, within the MLTox project, on neurotoxicity and applicability domain of machine learning models. Further, I welcome students for machine learning theory projects related to initial guessing bias or class imbalance .

Which kind of background should I have to join your group?

This depends a lot on the project and should be taken with a grain of salt. For the more theoretical projects, mathematics, theoretical physics or computer science. For the applied ones, data science, statistics and environmental engineering.

What kind of project could I do in your group?

This highly depends on when you apply. At the moment I have open problems in statistical physics (dynamics of REM and p-spin model), machine learning (testing a method we developed for data imbalance), and toxicity prediction (applying methods to predict the LC50 of chemicals on species).
