Dr. Jendrik Seipp
I have left the Artificial Intelligence research group. Please see my new homepage.

I received my MSc in computer science from the University of Freiburg, Germany, in December 2012. In March 2018, I completed my PhD under the supervision of Prof. Malte Helmert with the Artificial Intelligence group at the University of Basel, Switzerland. Afterwards, I stayed on as a postdoc until I became assistant professor at Linköping University, Sweden, in January 2021.
