Persönliche Mitglieder

In my role as a Business Manager Digital Life Science at Know-Center, I am responsible for developing our network within the ÖPPM and their partners. The center conducts applied and interdisciplinary computer science research in the fields of Data-Driven Business, Artificial Intelligence, Big Data and Cognitive Computing. With an interdisciplinary team, consisting of data scientists but also scientists from different disciplines, such as biomedicine, pharmacy or chemistry, we work on many exciting projects, which address both funded research (national and international), as well as industrial projects.

One example is our COMET module "DDAI - Privacy Preserving Data Driven Artificial Intelligence." Within the module, we develop new and secure algorithms and methods to evaluate confidential and sensitive data without compromising privacy and data protection. Personalized medicine in compliance with GDPR, increasing trust in medical artificial intelligence or benefits for pharmaceutical institutions around data sources, are only some ways of AI-powered solutions which have the potential to enhance the healthcare ecosystem massively.

Our work covers all parts of the data processing pipeline and paves the way for secure and trustworthy AI solutions.
