About
Dr. Maximilian T. Fischer is a Teaching Fellow and Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Data Analysis and Visualization group of Daniel Keim at the University of Konstanz, which he joined in late 2019. His research interests include the interactive visualization and analysis of communication through machine learning and XAI, ethical and privacy considerations in intelligence, as well as multivariate investigative analytics through temporal hypergraph modeling. Further, he is interested in infrastructure analysis regarding energy, transport, and communication networks.
Since October 2023, he serves as a Teaching Fellow (Lehrvertretung) as interim adjunct replacement for the professorship "Data Analysis and Visualization" in the programme "Freedom for creativity" as part of the Excellence Cluster Initiative.
