Professional Summary

I am a PhD candidate at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) in the group of Wolfgang Huber. My current work focuses on developing open-source software for the processing and analysis of large-scale spatial omics datasets (spatialproteomics). I am passionate about applying computational methods, including machine learning and AI, to answer questions of biomedical relevance. Previously, I studied bioinformatics at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich (LMU). I also contribute to open-source projects such as scverse.
