About me

Yannik Schaelte

Yannik Schaelte

I'm an AI Scientist with a background in Mathematics and Software Engineering. I specialize in generative AI, NLP, and scalable inference. During my graduate research, I developed scalable methods combining machine learning and mechanistic modeling, to solve complex problems in biomedicine and beyond. Presently, I'm at DeepL, building models that redefine how we communicate across language barriers. I'm driven by a passion for creating useful tools that efficiently solve real-world problems.
