Getting to Know | Aabhash Dhakal
I am a PhD candidate at the Chair of Information Systems and Business Analytics, University of Würzburg, working as a Doctoral Researcher in the Data Driven Decisions (D3) Group, supervised by Prof. Christoph Flath. My research focuses on Decision-Focused Machine Learning and Optimization, with applied interests in Energy and Transport.
Previously, I completed my Masters in CS with a Specialization in AI at the University of Freiburg, where my thesis ParetoPFN: In-Context Multi Objective Learning for Tabular Data was supervised by Prof. Frank Hutter. During my studies I also worked as a Research Assistant at Fraunhofer IWM and as a working student with the Supply Chain Innovations Think Tank at BMW Group in Munich.
