Bachelor & Master Students

 

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.
