About us

We are a team of scientists with over 20 years of combined experience analyzing neuroscience data and developing machine learning techniques. We are energized by the incredible era of innovation we are part of, an era in which machine learning is revolutionizing automation and making large-scale medical studies more feasible than ever before. With SomnoBot, we want to bridge the gap between the development of cutting-edge machine learning models and their real-world application in medical research.

SomnoBot is a non-commercial project hosted by the Data Science Lab of Aachen University of Applied Sciences (Germany). We are thankful to all members of our scientific advisory board for their invaluable comments and insights.

Niklas Grieger. In 2021, Niklas started his PhD studies as a member of the Data Science Lab at Aachen University of Applied Sciences (Germany) in collaboration with Utrecht University (Netherlands). Compelled by the potential of self-supervised representation learning techniques, his research explores novel applications of deep learning, with a current focus on neuroscience time series data. Niklas brings an enthusiastic and inventive approach to testing emerging advancements in the field. Through his doctoral work, he aims to expand the capabilities of self-supervised models and further the scientific community's understanding of their possibilities.

Stephan Bialonski. Stephan has been a full professor of Data Science at Aachen University of Applied Sciences (Germany) since 2018, after a successful tenure as a researcher at the Max Planck Society in Dresden and the Universities of Bonn and Dresden. At Aachen, Stephan established the Data Science Lab, designed and instructs courses in Deep Learning and Data Science, and became a founding member of the Institute of Data-Driven Technologies (IDT). His research explores the potential of deep representation learning to advance our abilities to diagnose diseases and our understanding of the human brain.
