I am a Scientist at Canon Medical Research Europe. I completed my EngD Computer Science at the University of St Andrews sponsored by Canon Medical Research Europe (2018-2022). I completed my BSc Computer Science at the University of St Andrews (2014-2018). Originally from Vienna, I grew up bilingual (German and English) and now live in Kinross-shire.
My research is mainly focused on natural language processing & multi-modal approaches in the medical domain. My EngD thesis is titled "NLP-Supervised Stroke Detection in Medical Images" (University of St Andrews, 2022).
