Executive Leadership in Foundation Models & GenAI Systems
I am the Site Lead of Fraunhofer IAIS in Dresden, where I head an interdisciplinary team working since 2022 on the development and application of large language models (LLMs) and generative AI. Our expertise spans the full lifecycle: from dataset creation, pretraining and continued pretraining to fine-tuning and instruction tuning. We carry out this work in European flagship projects such as OpenGPT-X, TrustLLM, OpenEuroLLM and Eurolingua.
In my leadership role, I combine scientific excellence with strategic impact. My team develops bespoke GenAI solutions for industry partners across diverse sectors, including scalable enterprise chatbots and specialised tools for semantic search and knowledge access.
