Teaching

I am passionate about teaching and organize the two lectures Computer Science for Medical Students (CS4MS) and Innovation Generation in the Healthcare Domain (IGHD). Additionally, I regularly support the courses Deep Learning for Medical Applications, Project Management and Software Development for Medical Applications and Machine Learning in Medical Imaging as a tutor.
