Saarland University (Germany)
Peter Ochs received his M.Sc. degree in mathematics from Saarland University in Germany in 2010, and his Ph.D. degree in mathematics from the University of Freiburg in 2015. During his Ph.D., he spent three months as a visiting researcher at TU-Graz in Austria. After a year as a postdoctoral researcher at Saarland University in Germany, he returned to Freiburg. In November 2017, he became Junior professor of Applied Mathematics at the Saarland University and, in September 2020, Tenure-Track Professor at the University of Tübingen with final evaluation successfully completed in 2020. Since March 2023, he is full Professor for Mathematics and Computer Science at Saarland University, where he is heading the Mathematical Optimization for Data Science group. He received the best paper award at the Scale Space and Variational Methods Conference (SSVM) in 2015 and at the German Conference on Pattern Recognition (GCPR) in 2016. His research interests are in non-smooth optimization with applications in computer vision, machine learning, image analysis, and data science in general.
