During his Bachelor’s degree Joshua Holstein studied industrial engineering with a focus on mechanical engineering at the Technical University Darmstadt. Afterward, he earned his Master’s Degree at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) in Industrial Engineering and Management. As part of his studies, he spent a semester abroad at Reichman University in Herzliya (Israel). After finishing his master thesis at the Bayer AG, he joined the Applied AI lab of the Digital Service Innovation Group in July 2022 as a research associate. During his joined PhD with the Bayer AG, he researches how to lever data-centric AI methods in industrial settings such as manufacturing to improve the data quality for artificial intelligence. Further, he looks into how human decision-makers can effectively collaborate with AI systems to achieve superior decision outcomes by systematically advancing their understanding of the underlying data and the AI system.
