Munich
As Head of the Machine Intelligence Research Group at Siemens Corporate Technology, Ulli is leading Siemens’ Deep Learning initiative with a team of talented deep learning and machine learning experts. He’s primarily interested in combining data-driven and semantic technology-driven machine learning algorithms for AI, information retrieval, and NLP challenges.
Ulli also founded Siemens’ AI Lab: a co-working space in the center of Munich that has become a hub of the city’s AI ecosystem. The Lab is a place for employee research in artificial intelligence, cross-unit collaboration, open innovation, and experiential learning, all helping to make the nebulous term “AI” actionable and concrete. With Ulli at the helm, it investigates and incubates AI-integrated solutions that optimize the way Siemens brings electrification, automation, and digitalization to the world.
