    Aachen, Germany
    • Collaborate with Dr. Daniel Truhn, supervising physician.
    • Leading a team working on radiological data synthesis using diffusion models.
    • Research on disease progression prediction by latent space exploration on the learned manifold, published in Nature Machine Intelligence, and selected as the cover image of volume 4 issue 11.
    • Investigated adversarial robustness on medical and pathological data, through the lens of batch normalization and attention. Both works were published in Nature Communications.
    • Research on federated machine learning in medical imaging, work published in Science Advances.
  • 2021
    The Alan Turing Institute - Data Study Group
    London, UK
    • Research topic covers perfusion quantification of sub-lingual micro-circulation.
    • Performed unsupervised vessel segmentation on dark field microscopy videos.
