PhD Candidate in Machine Learning and Computational Biology
I am a PhD candidate at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Helmholtz Center Munich, where I work in the research group led by Fabian Theis. My research centers on developing machine learning methods tailored to analyze high-dimensional, heterogeneous biological datasets, with a strong emphasis on ensuring algorithmic robustness and interpretability in biomedical contexts. I aim to dissect specific biomedical challenges through methodical computational inquiry, where even negative results refine the vocabulary of what’s biologically possible.
My approach to research is rooted in a deep-seated fascination with the 'why' and 'how' of biological processes, compelling me to probe beyond superficial findings to uncover subtle patterns that might reveal novel research directions or therapeutic opportunities. For me, the allure of research lies in this dynamic interplay between curiosity, discovery, and adaptation—a process that not only advances knowledge but also fosters solutions with tangible real-world impact. I find particular fulfillment in the iterative dance of scientific inquiry—where each provisional answer peels back a layer of abstraction, revealing sharper questions that demand both technical precision and creative skepticism.
