Dr. Susanne Wenzel

Scientific Coordinator

Academic degree: Dipl.-Ing. Geodesy, University of Bonn

Research group Big Data Analytics

Scientific Coordination:

I am coordinating FZJ's Helmholtz AI Local Unit at INM-1 and Jülich Supercomputing Centre (JSC) and its interaction and cooperation with the Helmholtz wide AI platform Helmholtz AI.
Closely related to that, I am also coordinating the new Helmholtz International BigBrain Analytics and Learning Laboratory (HIBALL), a collaboration between McGill university (MNI, BIC) and INM-1 that will reinforce utilization and co-development of the latest AI and high-performance computing technologies for building highly detailed 3D brain models, in close collaboration with CIFAR and MILA in Canada, and Helmholtz AI .

Research:

In my research I dealt with semantic image interpretation focusing on the combination of bottom-up image interpretation and high-level image interpretation methods from top-down.

Methods and tools:

• Pattern recognition and image interpretation
• Machine Learning
• Markov Marked Point Processes
• Deep Learning
• Hierarchical image features
• Symmetries and repeated structures in images
