About me

I am a Professor of Computational Medical Imaging Research at University of Bonn and AI Group Leader at the Helmholtz Center Munich. In the last few years, I have been leading a team of PhD students working on developing machine learning algorithms for clinical applications to mitigate the challenges in medical imaging. In the future, I will be working on developing innovative deep federated learning algorithms. My goal is to develop algorithms that are capable of distilling and sharing knowledge among AI agents in a robust and privacy-preserving way.

AGYA offers me incredible opportunities for interdisciplinary research collaboration.

These collaborations can help to improve the application of AI in healthcare. The bilateral exchange, joint workshops and capacity-building seminars help me to transfer my knowledge and develop affordable AI solutions for healthcare in Arab countries and Germany.
