About

I am a PhD candidate at the Institute of Medical Informatics at RWTH Aachen University. Previously, I carried out research at Research Center Jülich and at the Charité in Berlin. I received my MSc (2022) and BSc (2019) in Biological Information Processing from RWTH Aachen.

My work focuses on machine learning for medicine, including multimodal clinical systems, trustworthy methods, and reliable evaluation for clinical deployment. My work spans medical imaging, text, and biosignals such as ECG, with an emphasis on robustness and real-world reliability.

Away from the screen, I finished a marathon in 4:56:40, a slow convergence, but it converged.
