How has the nominee contributed to PyTorch?

• An active contributor to PyTorch repositories (e.g., commits, PRs, discussions).
• A speaker at PyTorch events or workshops.
• A PyTorch user group organizer or meetup host.
• A researcher or educator using PyTorch in academic work or training.
• An active leader in the PyTorch community with at least one year of experience in:
• Organizing events (virtual/in-person).
• Speaking at AI/ML conferences.
• Mentoring others in PyTorch.
• Creating technical content (e.g., blogs, videos, tutorials).

🏆 How Would the Nominee Contribute as an Ambassador?

I plan to host in-person hands-on events, specifically tutorials, introducing (Bachelor's, Master's, PhD) students to PyTorch and its ecosystem of frameworks and libraries. Since I'm affiliated with the university and work regularly from the university office, the organizational aspects are straightforward. 

I envision creating a local PyTorch enthusiasts group at Uni Stuttgart and organize regular events. Further, upon acceptance, a relevant webpage will be set up to disseminate the created learning materials (e.g., Marimo notebooks) and document the events. 

Moreover, since my current research work is mainly in the AI4Science domain, the aim is also to introduce PyTorch programming to chemists and physicists who are unfamiliar with PyTorch thinking and tensor computing.

Any additional details you'd like to share?

I have extensive tensor computing (NumPy, PyTorch, CuPy, JAX) experience and contributed several answers on StackOverflow (https://stackoverflow.com/users/2956066/kmario23).

Moreover, I maintain an open-source benchmark codebase (https://github.com/pdebench/PDEBench) for scientific machine learning and have contributed to other relevant frameworks.
