Vitus Benson

Vitus Benson is an ELLIS PhD candidate at Max Planck Institute for BiogeochemistryELLIS Unit Jena and ETH Zürich, training deep neural networks on data of the Earth system with focus on two applications: (1) the applicability of large-scale AI to Early Warning Systems. Within the EarthNet initiative. leveraging high resolution satellite imagery are leveraged to build data-driven impact early warning systems – with applications to anticipatory action for droughts and heat waves; (2) the study of the carbon cycle with neural network emulators, assessing the use of AI for atmospheric transport and inverse modeling – analogous to how recent works have revolutionized numerical weather prediction and other areas of scientific machine learning.
