Experience

  • Feb 2024 – present

    Postdoctoral Data Scientist, AI for Oncology & Precision Medicine

    LMU University Hospital (LMU Klinikum), Munich

    Built an end-to-end pipeline predicting more than 80 molecular targets from H&E whole-slide images (AUROC up to 0.90 on external validation, three cohorts). Developed a Cox-regression tool that supports treatment planning for brain metastases. Led part of an LMU and Helmholtz Munich project benchmarking published predictive indices against evolutionary-algorithm models. Derived patient subtypes with unsupervised ML and linked them to outcomes. Delivered containerized, reproducible ML on HPC and worked daily with clinicians and national consortia (DKTK, BZKF).

  • Sep 2020 – Dec 2023

    Data Scientist (PhD Researcher), Computational Biology & Data Science

    Technical University of Munich (TUM), Freising

    Designed, implemented, and benchmarked two open-source tools for genome-scale methylation analysis (jDMRgrid, DMRspiker), from algorithm to public release. Built CNN and LSTM models in TensorFlow over large-scale unstructured genomic data. Integrated multi-source omics into statistical models linking molecular variation to phenotype, which led to co-first authorship.

  • Feb 2017 – Aug 2020

    Data Scientist, Research Student in Data Science & Bioinformatics

    Silesian University of Technology, Gliwice

    Ran machine-learning radiomics on medical imaging to predict clinical outcomes and built biostatistical analyses of proteomics and genomics data. Built an automated computer-vision system to detect liver metastases in MRI (MSc thesis).

  • 2018 – 2019

    Software Engineer (Intern / Contractor)

    WASKO S.A. / Gabos Software, Gliwice

    Developed SQL reporting for MEDICUS, a hospital CRM application supporting operational healthcare workflows.

Education

  • 2020 – 2026

    Dr. rer. nat. (PhD) in Bioinformatics (epigenomics and machine learning)

    Technical University of Munich

    Thesis submitted April 2026; defense expected autumn 2026.

  • 2019 – 2020
