À propos

Hello!

My name is Wessel, and I am a Senior Researcher on the AI for Science initiative at Microsoft Research Amsterdam (opens in new tab), researching foundation models for environmental forecasting. My team recently published Aurora (opens in new tab), a foundation model of the atmosphere, which was featured in a Nature new article (opens in new tab).

I hold a PhD in Machine Learning from the Machine Learning Group at the University of Cambridge (opens in new tab), supervised by Richard Turner (opens in new tab). During the PhD, I worked mainly on neural processes and Gaussian processes.

I also like to work on various open-source software projects (opens in new tab).
