Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolIngmar Weber is a researcher-practitioner who builds interdisciplinary teams to turn large-scale digital traces—social media, satellite imagery, search logs—into actionable insights for social development. As Founding Director of the Interdisciplinary Institute for Societal Computing and Alexander von Humboldt Professor for AI at Saarland University, he combines 13+ years of research leadership across academia and research institutes with a track record of collaborating with UN agencies and NGOs. His work applies machine learning to measure migration, digital gender gaps, polarization, and poverty, translating complex models into policy-relevant evidence. Former research director roles at Qatar Computing Research Institute and editorial leadership at EPJ Data Science reflect his ability to steer both research agendas and scientific discourse. Trained in mathematics and computer science (MA Cambridge, PhD Saarland), he pairs rigorous theory with practical deployments—driven by a blunt, results-first ethos hinted at in his succinct GitHub bio.
