Outreach and Industry Innovation

  • Social and classical media outreach

    For the social media outreach of eROSITA_DE, I am the co-host of the @eROSITA_SRG twitter account (2019–present). I have appeared in a brief interview about eROSITA at the German radio station DasDing targeting young people (June 2019).

  • Trans-disciplinary

    A collaboration with Dr. med. Mats Leif Moskopp at the Institute for Physiology, TU Dresden applied my Bayesian inference expertise and PyMultiNest software to physiology research (2015–2017).

  • Societal impact

    I developed the image fingerprinting library imagehash, which can identify perceptually similar images. With over 4200 Github stars and over 350 forks, it is very popular. This code is used by Thorn to prevent child sexual abuse material from spreading.
