Tim Roith receives Dr.-Klaus-Körper Prize
On April 7th, 2025 Tim Roith was awarded the prestigious Dr. Klaus Körper Prize by GAMM – International Association of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics for his outstanding dissertation “Consistency, Robustness and Sparsity for Learning Algorithms.”
In his dissertation, Tim addresses two central aspects of modern machine learning. First, he establishes a solid mathematical framework to analyze the reliability and robustness of learning algorithms. Second, he explores how tailored optimization algorithms can be used to train compressed neural networks, helping to make machine learning models more efficient and faster without compromising performance.
The award ceremony took place in Poznań, Poland, during the annual meeting of GAMM. The Dr. Klaus Körper Prize recognizes exceptional doctoral theses in the fields of Applied Mathematics and Mechanics and is awarded annually to four early-career researchers.
