About Me

Hi, I'm Adrian! I am a PhD student in the Machine Learning Group at TU Berlin, where my research interests lie in automatic differentiation and explainable AI. I'm a huge fan of the Julia programming language and its community.

I like to spend my free time on open-source software, Go, good coffee and my bike. Some day I'm going to find the time to learn Rust.

Please reach out if you're interested in collaborating. You can find me on the Julia Slack, Zulip or on Bluesky. Links to my Google Scholar and social media profiles can be found at the bottom of this page.

This post introduces ASD, explaining how sparsity can be leveraged to vastly accelerate the computation of Jacobians and Hessians. Work with Guillaume Dalle and Alexis Montoison at ICLR 2025.
