About Me

I'm a doctoral student at the Chair of Medical Informatics, 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 linguistic nature of clinical texts, like discharge letters or anamnesis reports across clinical subdomains (e.g., cardiology or neurology). Particularly, I'm interested in Large Language Models' abilities to cope with German clinical text in different tasks or scenarios. 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 currently leading the semantic annotation work package. Semantic annotation includes identifying relevant clinical terms and grounding them with SNOMED CT concepts. Furthermore, I supervise the local annotation team and curate their results.
