About Me

I am an independent research group leader at the Technical University Munich. My group is funded by the Emmy Noether Programme of the German Research Foundation and is hosted at the Institute for AI in Healthcare and Medicine. I also have a secondary affiliation with Imperial College London.

My research focuses development and application of machine learning algorithms for the fields of medical imaging and ophthalmology. I am particularly interested in weakly and self-supervised learning to address data scarcity in healthcare and the integration of multimodal clinical data with medical images.

I studied physics at the University of Heidelberg from 2008 to 2014. Subsequently, I earned my PhD from the Institute of Cancer Research in London, where I developed automated strategies to adapt external beam radiotherapy for cancer to anatomical changes. After completing my doctoral studies in 2019, I transitioned into computer science by joining the Biomedical Image Analysis group at Imperial College London. In 2021, I moved to the Technical University of Munich, where I established my own research group in 2024.
