I am an Assistant Professor in Molecular Image Reconstruction and Analysis at KU Leuven, Belgium, emphasizing improved diagnostic image quality through advanced modeling, cutting-edge reconstruction algorithms, and sustainable machine learning techniques.

Born in 1987 in Görlitz, Germany, I spent my childhood engrossed in football and playing saxophone and clarinet in the local music school’s big band. In 2005, I moved to Dresden to study physics at TU Dresden, later completing an Erasmus semester at the University of Sheffield in 2009. I earned my Master’s in physics in 2011, ranking among the top five graduates in TU Dresden’s School of Science.

In 2015, I obtained a PhD (Dr. rer. medic) in medical imaging with the highest distinction (summa cum laude) from TU Dresden / Helmholz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf. Following seven years as a Postdoc at KU Leuven, Belgium, focusing on advanced image reconstruction techniques for molecular imaging, I spent a year as a visiting instructor at Stanford University, CA, working on sodium MR image reconstruction.

In my free time, I enjoy hiking, photography, cycling, as well as supporting the San Francisco 49ers.
