MCML Associate Steffen Schneider Is Young Scientist of the Year
Academics Young Talent Prize 2024 Awarded
Every year, academics, the leading online career portal for science, research, public affairs and society, honours a person who has made a lasting contribution to the respective scientific field with outstanding and forward-looking research achievements and who has also distinguished themselves through exemplary action and voluntary commitment to science.
MCML Associate Steffen Schneider (Helmholtz Zentrum München) and his team are developing machine learning algorithms to statistically model dynamic processes in biological systems. In this way, they are creating new approaches for basic medical research. He also demonstrates a remarkable social commitment: with his initiative ‘KI macht Schule’ (AI goes to school), he has been bringing the topic of artificial intelligence into the classroom since 2019.
In addition to Steffen Schneider, academics also honoured two other outstanding young female scientists: Second place goes to Sarah Rachut (Technical University of Munich). Third place goes to Franziska Boenisch (CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security).
The Science Prize, which was awarded for the first time in 2007, has established itself as a prestigious and coveted award. With the support of the ZEIT publishing group, it will be awarded at the German Science Gala of the German University Association on 31 March 2025 in Berlin.
