Research

My research focuses on medical image analysis, vascular diseases, diabetes, and predictive modeling, aiming to advance the understanding and treatment of these critical health issues. As an Ophthalmology resident at the University Eye Hospital Tübingen, I work within the Ueffing Lab under the guidance of Prof. Dr. Marius Ueffing and Dr. J. Dietter.

My doctoral thesis investigates advanced retinal image analysis techniques to predict vascular diseases and diabetes. This includes innovative methodologies in retinal image analysis and their applications in diagnosing and predicting vascular diseases and diabetes. Through this work, I strive to contribute to the development of disruptive diagnostic tools and predictive models that can significantly enhance patient care and outcomes.

Institute for Ophthalmic Research

Previously involved in various student organizations, I also engaged in Public Health Research and advocacy. I am deeply committed to leveraging data-driven methodologies and computational tools to address healthcare challenges, bridging the gap between research and clinical application.
