Christian Versloot Host

Christian works with Aime in Deventer on smart web platforms for engineering industries. Aime builds partnerships with engineering companies which start to realize that their own data can be highly valuable to them. Using deep learning and more traditional machine learning architectures they train models for analysis. Christian is currently graduating (M-BIT) on using deep learning and ground penetrating radar for the detection and identification of underground pipes and cables, while working on scaling up the organization over the coming years.

Stephan Eule Rosen

Stephan Eule got his PhD in Theoretical Physics in 2008 from the University of Muenster with a thesis on “Anomalous Diffusion in Complex Systems”. After that he worked as a Postdoc at the Max-Planck-Institute for Dynamics and Self-Organization, where he became a group leader in 2010. His group “Statistical Analysis and Stochastic Modeling of Complex Systems” worked on various topics ranging from computational biology over statistical finance to the modeling of infectious diseases, often with methods that would now be “Data Science”. In 2015, he spent some months at the Harvard Medical School as visiting scientist. Quite recently (October 2018), he joined ROSEN as a Data Scientist.
