About Me

I'm a doctoral student at the Institute for AI and Informatics in Medicine (AIIM) at the Technical University of Munich, with a formal and computational linguistics background.

My PhD Project

My PhD project in clinical natural language processing (NLP) focuses on the differences between general and clinical German as well as the specialties of clinical subdomains and clinical document types. Moreover, I'm interested in how well large language models (LLMs) process, analyze, or generate accurate clinical texts. I'm thankful that Prof. Dr. Martin Boeker and Dr. Diego Frassinelli supervise me, and Luise Modersohn and Dr. Jacqueline Lammert advise me on my project.

GeMTeX

In the German Medical Text Corpus (GeMTeX) project, we aim to create the largest shareable collection of de-identified and semantically annotated clinical documents in German. Within that project, I'm responsible for the guidelines of semantic annotation, where relevant clinical terms are grounded with SNOMED CT concepts. Furthermore, I supervise the local annotation team and curate their results.

Academic Background

I received my B.A. in Linguistics and my M.A. in Speech and Language Processing at the University of Konstanz. During my Bachelor's, my thesis, Influences of the Prosody on the Presuppositional Content of Wh-Questions in German, focused on the phonetics-pragmatics interface in spoken language and was supervised by Prof. Dr. Maribel Romero and Prof. Dr. Bettina Braun.
In the Speech and Language Processing Master's, I was able to dive deeper into the field of computational linguistics. I wrote my thesis,’Form2Bot’: A pipeline to automate the generation of conversational assistants from medical questionnaires, in collaboration with the Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation (IPA). The thesis aimed at automating the generation of anamnesis chatbots from FHIR resources. Prof. Dr. Miriam Butt and Jun.-Prof. Dr. Diego Frassinelli supervised me, Sebastian Schöning advised me at Fraunhofer IPA.
