Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolWessel B is a machine learning researcher with 12 years’ experience applying probabilistic modelling and time-series methods to environmental and energy systems. He holds a PhD and MPhil in Machine Learning from the University of Cambridge and has led research at Microsoft, Invenia Labs and now at The Alan Turing Institute and Cedalion Capital, bridging foundational ML for Earth system modelling with practical forecasting and quantitative strategy development. His work focuses on end-to-end environmental forecasting, multi-output time series, and probabilistic approaches that quantify uncertainty in complex spatio-temporal systems. Wessel combines academic depth with industry impact—translating research prototypes into market-facing tools for electricity markets and investment signals. Based in Utrecht, he brings a rare mix of theoretical rigour and hands-on engineering from earlier electrical engineering roots at TU Delft’s Solar Boat project. He is approachable and collaborative, inviting conversation and code exploration via his GitHub.
