I am a Hertha Firnberg project leader (granted by the FWF Austrian Science Fund), researching currently in the Cambridge Image Analysis (CIA) group, University of Cambridge, and as a Postdoctoral Research Associate at Gonville & Caius College, University of Cambridge.

My main research interests lie in the area of image representations, reconstruction and assessment, bridging theory and applications.

As a L’OREAL Austria/ÖUK/ÖAW Fellow I started 2021 research on Image Quality Assessment and continued that research path since 2022 as a FWF Hertha Firnberg Fellow on the project iDeal – Image based Data Evaluation Analyses and Medical Application. The main focus of that work is the analysis and development of suitable image quality assessment methods for machine learning algorithms with medical images, integrating expert knowledge.

Recently, I started to work on image reconstruction of degraded historical sheet music and have been granted a C2D3 Accelerate grant on AI meets cultural heritage: Non-invasive imaging and machine learning techniques for the reconstruction of degraded historical sheet music in collaboration with museums and libraries in Cambridge, UK.
