Bachelor & Master Students

 

M A Al-Masud

 

Currently, I am working toward a Master's in Computer Science at the University of Bonn. I joined Fraunhofer SCAI in July 2023 for my Master thesis. My goal is to generate realistic and privacy-preserving synthetic EHRs using GPT language model.

 

Navid Azadi

 

Lennart Carsten-Behrens

 

Johanna Driever


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.

 

Konrad Gerischer

 

I'm currently a student at RheinAhrCampus in Remagen and pursuing a Master's degree in Applied Mathematics. I joined SCAI in August 2023 to work on my Master's thesis. My focus is adjusting a known graph neural network approach for interpreting single-cell sequencing data.
