Hi, I’m Ulrich Kerzel and am Professor for Data Science and Artificial Intelligence at IU International University of Applied Sciences, where I am the director of the Master in Artificial Intelligence.

My current research is focused on AI in materials research in cooperation with IMM RWTH Aaachen, helping companies to create value using AI and am part of the research group AI in education at IUBH. Recently, we have started a new project about digitalization in education EduC Kompass Digitale Bildung.

Thomas Zöller teaches as a distance learning professor at IU International University in the Data Science department. His focus is on advanced analytics and artificial intelligence and their key role in digital transformation.

After studying computer science with a minor in mathematics, Zöller received his doctorate from the University of Bonn with a thesis in the field of machine learning in image processing. This was followed by several years of application-oriented research - including at the Fraunhofer Gesellschaft. In his further career, Zöller held various positions with a focus on business intelligence, advanced analytics, analytics strategy and artificial intelligence. In the course of these activities, he was able to gain experience in the defence technology, logistics, retail, finance and automotive sectors.
