Munich, Bavaria, Germany
Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolFelix Koehler is a PhD student at TU Munich specializing in machine learning for physical simulation, with nine years of experience bridging deep learning, adjoint methods, inverse problems, and optimization for fluids and solids. He produces widely accessible educational resources on simulation and ML as a Simulation Intelligence Advocate supported by Pasteur Labs & ISI and runs a technical YouTube channel with accompanying open-source notes and code. His work blends rigorous research (PhD with Nils Thuerey) and industry-facing projects—from Siemens master’s work accelerating CFD with learnt local correction models to an internship at Meta Reality Labs—demonstrating an ability to translate theory into practical simulation tools. A hands-on engineer, he implements low-level sparse matrix representations in C, probabilistic models and EM algorithms in Python/TensorFlow Probability, and creates interactive visualizations to demystify complex math. Based in Munich, he combines academic teaching experience and HPC expertise with a genuine commitment to open science and education.

Contributions summary:Felix contributed code related to machine learning and simulation. Specifically, they developed and implemented code for various sparse matrix representations, including coordinate and compressed sparse row formats, using the C programming language. They also implemented the Expectation-Maximization algorithm for a univariate Gaussian Mixture Model using Python and TensorFlow Probability. Additionally, the user created interactive visualizations and plots for several probabilistic models, including the multivariate normal, Gamma, and Normal-Gamma distributions, as well as for the ELBO (Evidence Lower Bound).
