About me
I am a Senior Data Scientist at DaphOS GmbH, where I develop data-driven solutions at the intersection of optimization and applied science. Previously, I held data science roles at Solgenium GmbH, specializing in operational research and statistical optimization in healthcare.
I hold a Ph.D. in Computer Science and Biomedical Engineering from Graz University of Technology (2018) and a diploma in Physics from the University of Regensburg (2012).
My academic research centered on computational methods for biomedical imaging, with a particular focus on accelerated magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), quantitative MRI, and motion correction techniques. This strong foundation in mathematical modeling and numerical optimization continues to inform my work in industry.
