Bastian Rieck is a senior assistant in the Machine Learning and Computational Biology Lab of Prof. Dr. Karsten Borgwardt at ETH Zurich. While broadly interested in investigating graph classification and time series analysis from a topological perspective, he is also enticed by finding new ways to explain neural networks using concepts from algebraic and differential topology. Bastian is a big proponent of scientific outreach and enjoys blogging about his research, academia, supervision, and software development.
