Dr. Alexander Kumpf
Publications
Alexander Kumpf worked in the group of Rüdiger Westermann and received his Ph.D. in 2020. His research focused on the visualization of ensemble weather forecast data, machine learning and data mining techiniques such as clustering, dimenionality reduction, statistics, correlation analysis in 3D and tracking of structures. Further, he applied Deep Neural Networks for interpolation and inpainting tasks for scientific data.
His research was conducted within the transregio project Waves to Weather (W2W) funded by the DFG.
