Dr. Ou received a Ph.D. in computer science at LMU Munich on April 3rd, 2023. His research explores design tradeoffs on intelligent human-in-the-loop systems and develops machine learning algorithms to support user decision-making processes. In context, he employees efficient and robust engineering practices to design and implement systems that deliver actual impact to real users.

He is enthusiastic about the open source movement and active in the Go community. For more open-source work, see GitHub profile.
