DoctorKatharina Dost

I am a Lecturer in the School of Mathematics and Statistics specialising in machine learning, data science, and artificial intelligence (AI). I obtained a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Auckland, focusing on robustness, fairness, and bias mitigation in machine learning. I subsequently held a prestigious Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship at the Jožef Stefan Institute in Slovenia, where I led research on active learning for accelerated scientific discovery, particularly in materials science and life sciences. Alongside my academic career, I have also worked as a Data Scientist in industry at DB Fernverkehr AG (German national train company), bringing practical experience of deploying data-driven and AI-based methods to real-world problems.
