PhD Candidate

Hello, I’m Julian

I am a PhD candidate at SAP SE, working in close collaboration with the University of Mannheim as part of an industrial doctorate program. Under the guidance of Prof. Heiner Stuckenschmidt, my research centers on Sustainable AI, where I explore methods to optimize the inference of large-scale AI models. My goal is to significantly reduce their computational and environmental impact without compromising performance, contributing to a more sustainable future for AI technologies.
