Florian Matthes (neé Knoop)

Hi there 👋

I’m Florian Matthes.

I’m a Senior Data Analyst with a focus on ML engineering at Ambrosys, working on data science and machine learning for complex systems.

Before moving to industry I was a theoretical physicist working on temperature-dependent materials simulations from first principles (density functional theory), at Linköping University and the Fritz Haber Institute. I publish my scientific work under my former name, Florian Knoop (FK below).
