Prof. Dr. Peter J. Schüffler

I received my PhD in medical image data analysis in 2014 in the Machine Learning Laboratory of Prof. Joachim Buhmann at the ETH Zurich, Switzerland. Thereafter, I deepened my studies in digital and computational pathology as a Postdoc in the Thomas Fuchs Lab at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center New York, USA. This whole journey began with a BSc and MSc in Bioinformatics at the Saarland University and the MPI Saarbruecken, Germany.

I am generally very interested in medical data analysis, preferrably with machine learning methods (i.e. learning from labeled and unlabeled medical data). The impact of successful methods in this field undoubted, and the research questions are manifold. I enjoy the multidisciplinary environment of computer science, computer vision, machine learning, medicine, pathology and biology.
