Nina Effenberger

PhD student at the University of Tübingen.

Since July 2021 I am a PhD student in the research group Machine Learning in Sustainable Energy Systems within the Cluster of Excellence – Machine Learning for Science at the University of Tübingen. Furthermore, I am part of the International Max Planck Research School for Intelligent Systems (IMPRS-IS).

My current research focuses on developing probabilistic machine learning algorithms for wind power forecasting. I am very interested in physics-informed machine learning and believe that chosing the right data is at least as crucial as choosing the right model.

During my PhD I have also conducted a research stay with the Weather Forecast Research Team at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada.

Additionally, I promote mental health in academia and I am also part of the PhD initiative sustainAbility.
