Klaus-Robert Müller is a profes­sor of machine learn­ing at TU Berlin and the direc­tor of BIFOLD (Berlin Insti­tute for the Founda­tions of Learn­ing and Data).

He is an inter­na­tion­ally renowned researcher in the fields of machine learn­ing and artifi­cial intel­li­gence. His focus lies on founda­tional research at the inter­sec­tion of machine learn­ing and big data manage­ment, with a partic­u­lar empha­sis on explain­able AI, deep learn­ing, and multi­modal learn­ing. Over the last three decades he has also been signif­i­cantly engaged in making the methods of machine learn­ing and artifi­cial intel­li­gence applic­a­ble to other scien­tific disci­plines, such as quantum chemistry, digital histopathol­ogy, neuro­science, and the human­i­ties, in order to create genuinely new knowledge.

Klaus-Robert Müller is a distin­guished profes­sor at Korea Univer­sity in Seoul and a member of the Leopold­ina, the Berlin-Branden­burg Academy of Sciences, and the German Academy of Engineer­ing. In addition to various "best paper" awards, he received the Berliner Wissenschaft­spreis of the Govern­ing Mayor in 2014 and the Vodafone Innova­tion Prize in 2017. Since 2019, he has contin­u­ously appeared on the list of "Highly Cited" researchers by Clari­vate Analytics.
