Joscha Cüppers is a PhD student who is working on novel methods for mining patterns from data. He is particularly interested in developing methods for discovering interactions and abstractions from sequential data.

Joscha obtained his Bachelor of Science in Computer Science in 2016 from Ulm University and his Master of Science from Saarland University in 2019. He joined the EDA group in 2019 to write his Master's thesis and started his PhD with us in 2020.
