Research interests

My main research focus is the development of algorithms to process, analyze, generate and grade (bio-)medical imaging data of various imaging modalities.


  • Medical image analysis
  • Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT)
  • Anomaly Detection (with Generative Adversarial Networks: AnoGAN, f-AnoGAN)
  • Application of Computer Vision and Machine Learning methods on biomedical data
  • Multimodal Learning of deep representations based on visual and textual (clinical) data

Techniques, methods & infrastructure

Machine Learning with main focus on (Deep) Neural Networks (Deep Learning)
