PhD candidate at the Friedrich Schiller University Jena

Jorrit is a PhD candidate in the Computer Vision Group at Friedrich Schiller University Jena, supervised by Prof. Joachim Denzler. His research focuses on fine-grained classification of Lepidoptera (moths), building localization and classification pipelines and exploring how dataset composition, model architecture, and auxiliary information such as taxonomic hierarchies can improve recognition. Before his PhD, Jorrit worked as a machine learning engineer, contributing to wildlife behaviour analysis at Wageningen University, distributed LLM training at Bittensor, and object detection systems at BOX21.
