Scheu.

I work where applied artificial intelligence, trustworthy systems, and real-world constraints meet.

Master’s thesis · Bielefeld University

Applying Federated Image Segmentation to Complex Industrial Worksites

Federated learning and computer vision under practical deployment constraints.

I study how capable AI systems can become smaller, more efficient, and more trustworthy without pretending those goals are free.

01

Resource-aware trustworthy ML

Balancing reliability, efficiency, and deployment constraints instead of optimizing a single convenient metric.

02

Small language models

Compression, quantization, and evaluation of compact models for constrained hardware.

03

Reliable computer vision

Robust and interpretable vision systems that remain useful outside carefully curated benchmarks.

04

AI engineering & governance

Turning organizational and regulatory requirements into usable technical systems and decision support.

Away from research, I prefer challenges involving strategy, teamwork, and considerably less debugging.

01

Board games

Complex systems are apparently still appealing when they arrive in a box with wooden pieces.

02

Dog sports

Training, teamwork, and spending time outdoors with far more enthusiastic beings than myself.
