Marek Lóderer

Research areas: machine learning, ensemble learning, metaheuristic and nature inspired computation, time series forecasting

Position: Researcher

Marek applies machine learning, ensemble learning, and metaheuristic optimization algorithms to solve a variety of microgrid-related problems, focusing on prediction, optimization, and anomaly detection in energy consumption.

He presented the results of his work at local and international conferences and published his findings in scientific journals and proceedings of professional organizations such as ACM and IEEE. He was a member of research teams in national and international research projects, such as Newton H2020 and ICERISE, and industry projects in cooperation with sféra, ATOS and Instarea.

During his PhD studies at the Slovak University of Technology in Bratislava, he led a student team developing a learning platform to revitalize geography teaching in elementary and high school using VR and AR technologies. In other projects, he and his students created a web-based application for modeling and simulating behavior in microgrids, as well as a high-speed GPU accelerated columnar database (qikkDB) suitable for big data.  

In 2021, he obtained a Doctoral degree in Informatics from the Technical University of Košice.
