About me

I am a third-year PhD Candidate at ETH Zürich and the German Cancer Research Center (DKFZ), also affiliated with Helmholtz Imaging. My work is dedicated to advancing scientific discovery through explainable AI (XAI) applied to high-dimensional and multi-modal data. I contributed to multiple interdisciplinary discovery projects across the domains of 🩻 medical imaging, 🦠 microbiology, and 🧱 material sciences. My efforts extend to increasing the trustworthiness of XAI results by evaluating methods and metrics, particularly focusing on attention and attribution methods.
