PhD candidate

MPI for Human Cognition and Brain Sciences

Conducting research in computational cognitive neuroscience. My primary focus is on improving deep phenotyping studies of the human visual system, by closely investigating their experimental and computational aspects.

Research assistant

ScaDS.AI

I was part of the MPM (Models for Personalized Medicine) project, developing new ways of integrating patient data from multiple sources into a holistic patient model, to be used for precision medicine.

• Implemented a longevity prediction model for prostate cancer that beat state-of-the-art models
• Built and improved models for automated segmentation of brain tumours

Data scientist (working student)

CHECK24 Vergleichsportal

As a working student, I was treated as a full member of the data science team, working on a wide range of projects to optimize the user experience of the platform. I also briefly worked on the backend team, working on the booking engine.

• Lead development of a image processing micro-service (my personal highlight: building a vector database for reusable image embeddings)
• Optimized recommendation system via a bayesian hyper-parameter search
• Wrote outlier detection algorithsm for hotel pricing data

Data scientist (working student)

Webdata Solutions GmbH

Webdata Solutions offered a solution for entity matching of products, based purely on text data. As a working student, I developed an image-based product matching pipeline that substantially improved on previously used approaches.

Data engineer (working student)

Mercateo Services GmbH & Co. KG

Worked on the development of a data warehouse, next to ETL process development and general business intelligence tasks.

Teaching Assistant "Developing Distributed Systems"

Universität Leipzig

Lead practical exercises and tutorials, assisted with teaching and supervised exams (summer semesters 2017 and 2018).

Intern

GISA GmbH

As an intern, I familiarized myself with ABAP development. My main project was to develop a SAP Fiori app for electric metering purposes, routing technicians to the next meter to be checked and allowing integrated recording of meter readings.

Internal PhD representative

MPI for Human Cognition and Brain Sciences

Served as internal PhD representative of the institute, representing the interests of the PhD students to the institutes director and administration.
