T. Konstantin Rusch

Postdoctoral researcher at MIT.

My name is T. Konstantin Rusch and I’m a postdoctoral researcher at CSAIL, MIT working with Daniela Rus. Before that I finished a PhD in Machine Learning / Applied Mathematics at ETH Zurich, where I was lucky enough to get advised by Siddhartha Mishra. Moreover, during my PhD studies I had a second affiliation at the EECS Department at UC Berkeley, advised by Michael Mahoney.


My main research interest is in combining physics with machine learning. Thereby, I focus on physics-inspired machine learning, which can be described as leveraging structure from physical systems to construct novel machine learning methods with better inductive biases. Additionally, I work on combining methods from numerical analysis with machine learning to solve problems in computational science and engineering.
