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.
