Prof. Dr.-Ing. Stefan Balke
Professor for Data Science
Höxter, Germany
Trying to be a generalist with a deep understanding and intuition of recent technologies related to Data Engineer, Data Science, and Machine Learning. Currently leading a team of Data Scientists helping customers sorting their data, lifting its quality to ML-readiness, and eventually obtaining business value from modern data-driven approaches.
Before that, I obtained my PhD in applied Machine Learning research, namely Music Information Retrieval, supervised by Prof. Dr. Meinard MĂĽller at the International Audio Laboratories Erlangen. I continued my research as a Post-Doc at the Institute for Computational Perception at JKU Linz, led by Prof. Dr. Gerhard Widmer. From 2019 to summer 2023, I led a team of data scientists at pmOne where we applied Machine Learning approaches to various industrial applications. Since fall 2023, I am professor for Data Science at Hochschule Weserbergland in Hameln.
