Hi, I\u2019m Clara Marie L\u00fcders,<\/strong> an AI \/ ML engineer and data scientist who enjoys turning complex problems into practical, data-driven solutions.<\/p>\n

Since December 2023, I\u2019ve been with OPTANO<\/strong>. My path there began as an Analytics Software Engineer<\/strong>, progressed through an AI Enablement project<\/strong>, and has led\u00a0me to my current role as an Analytics Consultant<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As an Analytics Software Engineer, I developed software to address Operations Research<\/strong> challenges, focusing on inventory and network optimisation. During the AI Enablement project, my mission was to help colleagues engage with and apply AI in meaningful, targeted ways<\/strong>. Today, as an Analytics Consultant, I organise projects and serve as an in-house AI Consultant<\/strong>, helping integrate AI and LLM technologies<\/strong> into OPTANO’s software and workflows to create real, lasting value.<\/p>\n

Before joining OPTANO, I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Hamburg<\/strong>. My research centred on how Issue Tracking Systems<\/strong>, their links, and their comments can be analysed and supported by Machine Learning, particularly large language models (LLMs)<\/strong>, to better understand and improve software development in practice.<\/p>\n

In my current research, I\u2019m also exploring how Generative AI<\/strong> changes work, learning, and quality within organisations. A core focus is on how companies can use AI effectively without eroding essential knowledge, human responsibility, or quality standards.<\/p>\n

My technical background is in mathematics, machine learning, deep learning, and applied AI<\/strong>, but I prefer to think in terms of problems, context, and useful solutions rather than buzzwords. It\u2019s important to me that technology isn\u2019t just impressive on paper, but remains approachable and practical<\/strong> for the people working with it.<\/p>\n

Outside of work, I\u2019m into Karate, video games, escape rooms, and languages, currently learning Japanese, a bit of Korean, and Spanish.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

I enjoy giving presentations\u00a0<\/strong>and I\u2019m always happy to be contacted to discuss AI, data science <\/strong>or research<\/strong>.<\/strong> I love exchanging ideas, exploring collaborations, and thinking through new challenges.<\/p>

<\/p>

If you\u2019re interested in brainstorming ideas or just discussing cutting-edge AI research, feel free to reach out<\/strong>!<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
