Research Portfolio
PhD · Environmental Data Science · University of Canterbury
Kia ora, my name is Tobi, and I am a postdoc at the University of Canterbury, researching extreme weather events in Antarctica. My work spans machine learning, environmental data science, anomaly detection, legal tech and natural language processing.
I am a postdoctoral researcher at the School of Earth and Environment at the University of Canterbury, Christchurch, New Zealand. My current research focuses on the detection and prediction of anomalous and extreme weather events in Antarctica. This work is closely related to my PhD dissertation in Applied and Computational Mathematics, combining data science and machine learning with environmental science to uncover unusual patterns in complex, real-world datasets.
I also worked as a Research and Teaching Assistant at the University of Passau, Germany, where I completed both my B.Sc. in Internet Computing and my M.Sc. in Computer Science. Furthermore, I spent a year at Kyoto Sangyo University in Japan and completed a 3-month research internship at the Institute of Industrial Science at the University of Tokyo.
I welcome inquiries from prospective students, collaborators, journalists, and colleagues. Please do not hesitate to reach out — I aim to respond within a few working days.
If you are interested in joining the lab as a graduate student or postdoctoral researcher, please include a brief description of your background and research interests.
