Since 2023, I have been working at SCAI as a student. Currently, I am working on my master's thesis, which aims to estimate the causal effects of lifestyle variables on the risk of developing Parkinson's disease using modern machine learning algorithms.

I joined Fraunhofer SCAI in October 2022 for my computer science bachelor thesis, here I fine-tuned a BERT model using structured EHR data to predict Parkinson's disease. After completing my bachelor thesis, I continued working on the project. Currently, I’m pursuing a Master's degree in Computer Science at the University of Bonn.

I joined Fraunhofer SCAI in October 2024 to work on my master's thesis in applied mathematics. In my thesis, I am developing and comparing different approaches for optimizing drug dosages that use a combination of machine learning and pharmacological models.

I joined Fraunhofer SCAI in March 2025 for my applied mathematics master thesis. Here, I develop and apply modern generative AI methods to emulate clinical studies.
