Professor
Prof. Ingo Scholtes is a Full Professor of Machine Learning for Complex Networks at Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg's Center for Artificial Intelligence and Data Science (CAIDAS). He holds a doctorate in computer science and mathematics from the University of Trier and has held roles including SNSF Professor at the University of Zurich, Full Professor at Bergische Universität Wuppertal, and Senior Assistant at ETH Zürich. His research focuses on higher-order graph analytics for temporal networks, machine learning, and computational social science. Education: PhD in Computer Science (University of Trier, Germany), Postdoctoral Research at ETH Zürich (2011–2016), and prior roles at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and CERN. Research Interests: Machine learning on graphs, temporal network analysis, higher-order network models, and their applications in software engineering and social systems. He develops open-source tools like pathpy and git2net for network analysis. Recent Work: Focuses on causality-aware graph neural networks, temporal graph isomorphism, and network science applications in AI. Recent articles include studies on temporal network dynamics, path prediction, and Bayesian inference of network transitions. Awards: SNSF Professorship (2018), Junior-Fellowship (2014), and German Academic Scholarship Foundation (2004-2005). Active in editorial roles for EPJ Data Science and leadership in GI's Computational Social Science working group.
