Research Interests
My research interests lie at the intersection of medical informatics and biomedical engineering, with a focus on interoperable digital health infrastructures, clinical data integration, digital biomarkers, and translational digital health technologies. My work addresses the development and evaluation of clinically relevant digital solutions, ranging from interoperable health data ecosystems and architectures to digital assessment tools, AI-supported healthcare applications, and data-driven clinical workflows.
I am interested in interdisciplinary collaborations with academic, clinical, and industry partners in the fields of digital health, medical data interoperability, AI in healthcare, biomedical engineering, and translational health technologies. Collaborative research, international cooperation, and joint funding initiatives are particularly welcome.
Research Focus Areas
- Interoperable Health Data Infrastructures
- Federated Health Data Ecosystems and Secondary Use of Health Data
- Digital Health and Translational Healthcare Technologies
- AI in Healthcare and Clinical Decision Support
- Digital Biomarkers and Sensor-Based Assessment Systems
- Digital Medical Devices and Software as a Medical Device (SaMD)
- Health Data Governance and European Health Data Space (EHDS)
