Biography

Florian Hölken has been a research associate at the Institute for Technologies and Management of Digital Transformation at the University of Wuppertal since September 2023. He first joined the institute in January 2022 as a technical assistant. He completed his bachelor's degree in economics and computer science at the same university. For his master's degree, he specialized exclusively in computer science with a focus on data science. In his master's thesis, entitled “Neuroscience-inspired Ablation Studies for Vision Transformers”, he dealt intensively with the applicability and suitability of ablation studies on vision transformers.
His current research focuses on the development of semantic data catalogs, which can play an important role in the networking of data systems, such as solid-based dataspaces.
