Dr. Alexandra Pehlken

At DFKI, one of Europe’s leading research institutions in artificial intelligence and DWIH Tokyo supporter, Alexandra works on advancing sustainable AI solutions, ranging from detecting environmental waste, such as plastics in the ocean, to the sustainability of AI itself.
Her passion lies in critical raw materials and the recycling of valuable resources – an area where innovation and international collaboration are more important than ever. She is looking forward to connecting with Japanese experts to exchange ideas and explore new avenues for cooperation.

We had the pleasure of meeting Alexandra in Kamakura during a recent conference – perfectly timed with clear views of Mount Fuji and cherry trees in full bloom!
Her visit came shortly after her participation in the DWIH Tokyo Symposium on Sustainable Consumption and Production last December—and we hope it won’t be long until her next visit to Japan!
