  • PhD in the Medical Image Computing Group at DKFZ German Cancer Research Center
    Oct 2016 - Dec 2019 · 3 yrs 3 mos

    During my PhD I worked on deep learning algorithms to segment and classify medical images such as MRI and CT scans. I worked closely with radiologists and clinicians at the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg, working with real patient data. I placed a particular focus on dealing with ambiguity in medical images resulting in novel generative models that can generate different plausible segmentations and thereby convey appropriate uncertainty - similar to how a panel of radiologists may give different medical opinions.
