Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia
I recently earned my PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia). My research focuses on medical image analysis, 3D semantic segmentation, modeling of human anatomy, development of validation metrics, and synthetic data creation. I am particularly interested in virtual imaging trials, digital patient twins, and their applications in radiotherapy, disease diagnosis, AI tool validation, and the creation of next-generation tools for precision and personalized medicine.

My doctoral research focused on improving the accuracy and clinical reliability of organ-at-risk (OAR) segmentation for radiotherapy planning, particularly in the anatomically complex head and neck region. I investigated the potential and limitations of combining computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance (MR) data for this task, addressing challenges such as image registration, modality-specific artifacts, and clinical validation. As part of this work, we developed the HaN-Seg dataset - a public paired CT–MR dataset with expert annotations - and organized a computational challenge on multi-modal segmentation. We also designed in-house multi-modal models to explore the integration of CT and MR information. On the validation side, we conducted geometric, dosimetric, and psychometric analyses of organ-at-risk auto-segmentation and introduced MeshMetrics, a mesh-based implementation of distance-based metrics for 2D and 3D segmentation evaluation.
Image and Video Processing, 1st Year of Master Study in Information and Communication Technologies
Developed AnatomyGen (https://doi.org/10.1007/978-3-032-06774-6_10), a generative model of human anatomy using implicit neural representations, capable of producing realistic, high-resolution anatomical phantoms for use in virtual imaging trials in medicine and in silico experimentation. Advised by Dr. Mathias Unberath.
