Professional Journey

From academic research to enterprise AI applications

I'm an AI Research Engineer with a unique blend of deep academic expertise and practical enterprise experience. My journey began with a fascination for how intelligent algorithms could unlock insights hidden in complex scientific data.

During my PhD in Biophysics at the University of Würzburg, I developed ReCSAI, a groundbreaking approach that combines compressed sensing with deep neural networks for super-resolution microscopy. This work, published in BMC Bioinformatics, represents a fundamental advancement in how AI can be applied to scientific imaging challenges.

My research spans computer vision, scientific machine learning, and enterprise AI systems. I've contributed to 16 peer-reviewed publications with over 372 citations, including multiple papers in the prestigious Nature family of journals.

Currently, I work as an SAP AI Consultant, where I bridge the gap between academic AI research and enterprise applications. This role has given me invaluable insights into the challenges of deploying AI at scale in real-world business environments.

"What drives me is the intersection of rigorous scientific methodology with practical innovation. Whether I'm designing neural network architectures or crossing an Ironman finish line, I believe in pushing boundaries through disciplined, systematic approaches."

Beyond the Lab

How endurance sports shape my approach to research and innovation

Endurance Athletes & Innovators

Triathlon isn't just a hobby—it's a laboratory for understanding human performance, data optimization, and the psychology of pushing limits. The same methodical approach I apply to training periodization directly influences how I structure AI research projects.

Racing Ironman distances has taught me that breakthrough innovations, like endurance achievements, require patience, systematic progression, and the ability to maintain focus during extended periods of uncertainty. These qualities are essential when developing novel AI architectures or debugging complex neural networks.
