Dr. Pascal Welke

I am interested in Data Mining, Applied Graph Theory, Machine Learning, and Human-computer Interaction. I wrote my PhD thesis on 'Probabilistic Frequent Subtree Mining'.

I also teach several courses that are offered by our group in the Bachelors program and Masters program in Computer Science and I supervise BA and MA theses.
