Experience

Since 2021

Paderborn University

Ph.D. Student

I research the subject of correlation-based deep multi-view representation learning, especially unsupervised methods like DeepCCA and its extensions. At the same time, I focus on combatting the "black-box" property of neural networks by developing practices of Explainable AI in combination with complexity bounds. That enables development of forward-thinking algorithms tackling fundamental medical problems like seizure prediction and computer-assisted diagnosis in general.

2020 - 2023

metamorphosis GmbH

Machine Learning Engineer

I was responsible for creating large databases of simulated X-ray images and training neural networks with them. I take pride in having developed a complete framework for GPU-accelerated X-ray image simulation for different surgical scenarios. Further, I trained, evaluated, and deployed multiple segmentation networks and developed algorithms that use that information for 3D reconstruction, image registration, and classification.

Achievements

2023

Paderborn University

Paderborn University research award 2023

I am happy to share that the project I am working in has won the Paderborn University Research Award 2023. The project is titled „Improving the lives of people with epilepsy: Towards a low-cost and real-time seizure prediction“. Together with our collaborators from the Sports Medicine Institute at Paderborn University and the division of Epilepsy and Clinical Neurophysiology at Boston Children’s Hospital, Harvard Medical School, we are working on an innovative solution for a wearable that offers seizure predictions in real time. An effective real-time prediction system could save lives by improving treatment strategies and even preventing seizures in the future. I am incredibly thankful to be part of this amazing research project and to be given the chance to work with all these talented researches. I am very excited about the future of the project!
