Projects

I'm a member of CAIRO, Center for Artifificial Intelligence. 

Projects:

• ML-EMPerform: Machine learning surrogate modeling of electrical motor performance (2025-26). This project aims to develop deep learning (DL) methods for predicting the performance of EM bypassing the FEM-based simulation methods. The surrogate DL methods shall be significantly faster than the FEM-based simulations allowing for notable speed-ups in the EM design process.
• PhysioInk - data analysis and active planning of an experimental study (2025-27).The overall goal of the project is the development of "quality" bio-ink that enables the printing of physiological tissues. The task of THWS is to support researchers and developers in the life science field by using modern methods of artificial intelligence and experimental design, employing a central database and data analysis system provided for the partners. Innovative solutions provided by THWS through data analysis should offer optimal, accelerated, and targeted methods, as well as variation possibilities for the development and production of the bio-ink.

Closed projects:

• KI Transfer+ (2023-2025) (KIRZ)

Vita

Magda Gregorova comes from Prague, Czech Republic, where she obtained her Master‘s degree in Statistics (2001) from the University of Economics. She started her career as an applied statistician in the Czech National Bank, where she headed a technical unit on financial statistics and collaborated closely with the ECB and the IMF. After several years in banking she has decided to follow an international career and joined Eurocontrol, the European Organization for the Safety of Air Navigation based in Brussels, Belgium, as a statistical analyst and forecaster. She then moved to Geneva, Switzerland, where she obtained in 2018 a PhD in machine learning from the Computer Science Department of the University of Geneva. She continued as a post-doc in the Data Mining and Machine Learning group of the University of Applied Sciences of Western Switzerland. 

In 2021 Magda has moved to Germany, where she obtained the research professorship for “Representation and Learning in Artificial Intelligence” at the Faculty of Computer Science and Business Information Systems of the Technical University of Applied Sciences Würzburg-Schweinfurt (THWS). She is a founding member of the THWS research Center for Artificial Intelligence (CAIRO) which she has led from its beginnings in 2022 till mid 2024. Her teaching activities are mainly within the international masters on AI in the areas of deep learning and generative modelling. In her research she focuses on deep unsupervised learning methods for modelling complex high-dimensional distributions and data representations for downstream tasks (google scholar). In addition to her own research she regularly contributes to the machine learning community through reviewing service (ICML, ICLR, NeurIPS, etc.) and by active participation in outreach and educational events such as IK.
