Artificial Intelligence in Radiology (temporary title)
Prof. Dr. Christian Wachinger
Professorship for Artificial Intelligence in Radiology
Department of Medicine, Technical University of Munich
Prof. Wachinger conducts research on novel AI algorithms for the analysis of medical images and their translation into clinical practice. He develops multimodal models for disease prediction and uses big data to train complex neural networks. Currently, he is focusing on the following challenges: (i) transparency of AI, (ii) integration of heterogeneous data, and (iii) generalization, bias, and fairness.
Prof. Wachinger studied computer science at TUM and ENST Paris. He holds an Honours Degree in Technology Management from CDTM. In 2011, he received his PhD in medical image analysis from TUM. As a post-doc, he was at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge and Harvard Medical School in Boston, USA. Subsequently, he took over an interims-professorship at the Ludwig-Maximilians-University of Munich. In 2021, he was appointed to the professorship for AI in radiology at TUM.
