Experience
Research Engineer
May 2025 – PresentInstitut für Neuro-und Bioinformatik, Lübeck
- Developing and deploying AI solutions for iSCAT microscopy and the KIMEKO AI medical collaboration platform.
- Developed generative diffusion models to synthesize realistic iSCAT nanoparticle images for data augmentation.
- Built LLM-based pipelines for medical causal relation extraction from unstructured clinical text; fine-tuned open-source LLMs (Gemma, LLaMA, Qwen) with LoRA, achieving a 21% improvement in F1 score over the baseline.
- Collaborated with clinical domain experts to curate high-quality causality annotations and built scalable post-processing pipelines for labeled datasets.
- Supervised and provided technical mentorship to a Master's student, guiding experimental design and model development.
Master Thesis (Grade: 1.0)
Oct 2024 – Apr 2025Institut für Neuro-und Bioinformatik, Lübeck
- Project: Developed end-to-end deep learning pipelines for nanoparticle segmentation and size estimation using interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) images in collaboration with Harvard University.
- Implemented and benchmarked SAM, Mask R-CNN, CellViT, and UNet architectures; achieved 76% F1-score and 81% Dice on held-out test data.
- Developed ResNet and ViT models for accurate nanoparticle size estimation using physics-informed constraints.
Machine Learning Intern
Apr 2024 – Sep 2024Institut für Neuro-und Bioinformatik, Lübeck
- Implemented and deployed a model for automatic image cropping as a web application using Docker Compose.
- Designed and built an end-to-end framework to train an RL agent for tonal value adjustment (e.g., contrast, saturation).
- Achieved state-of-the-art RL methods in tonal adjustment on the MIT-Adobe FiveK dataset, achieving 26.75 dB PSNR and 0.85 SSIM.
- Deployed a demo app: photo-enhancer featuring manual and RL-based editing with color histograms for photographers.
Student Research Assistant
Aug 2023 – Mar 2025Institut für Technische Informatik, Lübeck
- Worked on the DFG-funded METERACOM (Metrology for THz Communications) project focused on future 6G/THz communication systems.
- Designed and implemented reinforcement learning algorithms to optimize adaptive beamforming in mmWave and THz MIMO systems, improving beamforming gain under realistic conditions and hardware impairments.
- Evaluated RNN-, CNN-, and transformer-based neural network architectures for modulation classification.
