Dr. Maximilian DaxDr. Maximilian Dax
Principal Investigator at the ELLIS Institute Tübingen and Independent Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems
Maximilian Dax leads the research group for “Science and Probabilistic Intelligence” (SPIN) at the ELLIS Institute Tübingen and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems.
He combines foundational research on probabilistic artificial intelligence (AI) with applied research in science. His work spans a range of scientific domains, aiming to drive discovery through AI. Outside of such applications, his AI research focuses on generative modeling, inverse problems and simulation-based inference, aiming to develop efficient, accurate and reliable methods.
Maximilian is a member of the LIGO Scientific Collaboration, an ELLIS member and a EuCAIF Junior Fellow. His PhD was supported by the Hector Fellow Academy.
