Research
My research interests are centered on medical image analysis, vascular diseases, diabetes, and disease prediction, aiming to advance the understanding and treatment of these critical health issues. Under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Marius Ueffing and Dr. J. Dietter, my doctoral thesis explores 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. My research is also deeply intertwined with my commitment to integrating technology into healthcare to drive transformative changes.
Previously involved in various student organizations, I also engaged in Public Health Research and advocacy.
