Dr. Christian Reimers
Postdoctoral Researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry Jena

Christian is a postdoctoral researcher at the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry (MPI-BGC) in Jena, Germany. Since 2024, he has headed the project group „Adapting Machine Learning to Earth’s System Science“. This group adapts neural network architectures developed for computer vision or natural language modeling to the unique challenges of Earth’s system science. After completing his master’s degree in mathematics from the University of Göttingen in 2017, he earned his PhD in computer science from the Friedrich Schiller University Jena in 2023. During his PhD, he developed methods based on causal inference to determine whether a high-level feature is used by a neural network, and a method to debias neural networks based on this approach.
