Master's student in Computer Science at Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg, focused on machine learning and tabular data.

Leon Schuster

About & Education

I'm a computer science graduate student researching how machine learning models can be made both accurate and interpretable when applied to structured, real-world data.

Expected Sep 2028

M.Sc. Computer Science

Albert-Ludwigs-Universität Freiburg

Focus on Machine Learning and Tabular Data.

Completed

B.Sc. Applied Computer Science

DHBW Mosbach — in cooperation with TecAlliance

Dual-study program combining coursework with applied industry work at TecAlliance.

Projects

Academic and applied work spanning predictive modeling, interpretability, and computer vision.

AI-Based Predictive Maintenance

Private / Academic

Predicted machine failure using Random Forests, Causal Forests, and Neural Networks. Used SHAP and feature importance analysis to make model predictions interpretable for maintenance decision-making.

Python Random Forests Causal Forests Neural Networks SHAP

Vehicle Spare Part Recognition

Bachelor's Thesis

Evaluated image classification tools for vehicle spare part recognition, comparing models including ViT and Amazon Titan. Compared preprocessing and scoring methods such as grayscale conversion and background removal, evaluated performance on an unseen test set, and produced a cost analysis of each approach.
