Top SchoolFrank Hutter is a tenured Professor of Computer Science at the University of Freiburg and co-founder of Prior Labs, combining deep academic roots with entrepreneurial drive in automated machine learning. He holds a PhD from UBC and is a Hector-Endowed Fellow and PI at ELLIS Tübingen, where he focuses on AutoML and tabular foundation models aimed at making algorithm design more automatic and broadly usable. Previously Chief Expert for AutoML at Bosch and leader of an Emmy Noether research group, he has a track record of translating rigorous research into industrial impact. Based in Freiburg, he is currently on leave from his professorship (since May 2024) to pursue both fellowship-led research and commercialization—an uncommon blend of leadership across academia and industry that started with early research stints at NASA and Microsoft Research.
