Dr. rer. nat. Philipp J. Rösch

Since December 2023, I am Research Head Artificial Intelligence at the Institute of Distributed Intelligent Systems (VIS) at the University of the Bundeswehr Munich. From 2020 to 2023, I was a research assistant at the same institute, where I helped to manage the Monacum One GPU cluster.

I received my doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence), where my research focused on Vision-Language Models. I obtained my Master's Degree (M.Sc.) in Statistics from Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München in 2016 and my Bachelor's Degree (B.Sc.) in Economics from University of Mannheim in 2013. After my Master's, I worked in the private sector for several years.

Machine Learning Interest Group (MLIG)

I organize the Machine Learning Interest Group (MLIG), a university-wide platform for researchers at UniBw M and HSU focusing on machine learning and AI. MLIG hosts a variety of events including the AI LUNCH, AI TALK, AI STAMMTISCH, AI SALON and the UniBw AI Retreat (last both in cooperation with GCMC) to strengthen exchange and collaboration in that field.

Please visit the website at https://go.unibw.de/mlig.

If you work at UniBw M or HSU and would like to join the ILIAS group, please use https://go.unibw.de/JoinMLIG.
