Collaborate
Let's build something worth searching for
I'm open to academic and industry collaborations in AI, information retrieval, and patent intelligence — whether that means co-authoring a paper, solving a search problem for your organization, or supervising a thesis.
ACADEMIA
Research Collaboration
Joint work on patent retrieval, LLM evaluation, explainable AI, and information retrieval — co-authored papers, shared datasets, and cross-institutional projects.
- Co-authoring papers for IR, NLP, or patent-analytics venues
- Joint grant applications and Indo-German research initiatives
- Sharing or jointly developing benchmark datasets
INDUSTRY
Industry Collaboration
Applying retrieval, NLP, and explainable AI methods to real-world search and document-understanding problems for companies and patent offices.
- Prior-art search and patent classification systems
- Domain-specific search and retrieval-augmented generation
- Evaluating LLMs for enterprise document understanding
MENTORSHIP
Student Supervision
Supervising thesis and project work for students interested in information retrieval, NLP, and applied machine learning — informed by several years of doing exactly this at Passau and HM Munich.
- Master's and Bachelor's thesis supervision
- Guidance on patent-analytics or IR-focused research projects
- Code review and methodology feedback for ML projects
Consulting
Need AI strategy for search or patent intelligence?
I also work with organizations directly on retrieval-augmented generation, semantic search, patent intelligence, and domain-specific language models — get in touch to discuss your use case.
