About me
I am currently engaged in scientific research in Regina Beets-Tan’s group in the Radiology Department of the Netherlands Cancer Institute, and Ritse Mann’s Breast Imaging Group (BIG) in RadboudUMC. In 2023, under the leadership of Ritse Mann, I participated in the ODELIA and SAFE-MRI projects as a postdoctoral researcher.
Research Interests
My research focuses on medical image analysis and natural language processing, with a particular emphasis on multimodal AI model development and its integration into clinical workflows.
