Cryo-EM Particle Analysis
Snakemake-based pipeline for cryo-electron microscopy particle classification using CNN-driven analysis and distribution shift mitigation (Harmony, TVN, ComBat).
About Me
I'm a Senior Scientist at the Core Facility Bioinformatics at BOKU University Vienna, where I lead large-scale transcriptomic and image analysis projects across four research institutes.
With a PhD in Biotechnology from BOKU and a Master's in Artificial Intelligence (in progress) from JKU Linz, I work at the intersection of computational biology and deep learning. My research spans cryo-electron microscopy, cancer tissue pattern recognition, cell painting, and airborne optical sectioning for search-and-rescue.
As a stroke survivor, I'm also passionate about health advocacy. I host Schlageinfälle, a German-language podcast on stroke awareness and recovery, giving a voice to the young stroke community in the DACH region.
