Martin Röck
KU Leuven
Cologne, Germany
I'm a built environment researcher focused on environmental modelling of buildings and building stocks using life cycle-based assessment methods. I have been working on a joint effort to compile data on life cycle emissions of buildings and would be glad to find partners in this community for exploring it further!
Areas of Interest:
Classification, regression, and supervised learning Climate and Earth science Uncertainty quantification and robustness
Areas of Experience:
Buildings and cities Industry Policy

Much of my research focuses on the assessment of 'embodied impacts' of buildings, i.e. environmental impacts (GHG emissions, etc) related to construction material processing (production, transport, end-of-life treatment). Embodied GHG emission are a hidden challenge for effective climate change mitigation in buildings and cities, as we could show in earlier research.

I am currently working as a SWE at Apple, having just finished grad school at Columbia University. In my free time, I like to read, climb and play basketball and badminton. I have been trying to be environmentally conscious for a number of years now and have taken small steps to change my lifestyle over the years to make it more carbon neutral. There's lots more to do though and I believe the intersecion of AI and climate change is a domain that has a lot of (untapped) potential! I look forward to getting to know all of you and hopefully collaborating in the future to help realize that potential. Cheers!

Marcus Voss
TU Berlin, Birds on Mars
At the Distributed Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (DAI-Lab), I have coordinated and worked on several research projects investigating how digitization and AI can support the energy transition. Within those projects, I have been modeling, forecasting, and optimizing different demand-side processes such as electric vehicles, smart building- and smart home loads, and renewable generation. I have coordinated the research group Smart Energy Systems, where I was responsible for aligning the DAI research for solutions for the energy system. I have co-supervised several Seminar, Bachelor and Master theses and project-based courses, mostly in applied machine learning for energy data, hoping to inspire more students to work in the field. In my doctoral research at TU Berlin, I work on analyzing low voltage-level smart meter data using non-Euclidean distance measures and neural networks with applications in load forecasting and load profile clustering.
