Luise Arn

I am a data scientist with a passion for big data and machine learning. Making sense of complex data, concepts, and algorithms is one of my core interests. In my PhD, I am looking at artificial intelligence (AI) from a people-centered view. I am interested in making data science and AI more intuitive and accessible for a broader spectrum of people and empowering the next generation to translate modern concepts of AI into a desirable future. With that in mind, I am exploring storytelling as a playful and engaging educational instrument. I like to work solution-oriented and value interdisciplinary and diverse teams. I am open to collaborations and knowledge-exchanges.
