Short CV

Philipp Seeböck completed his Computer Science studies at Vienna University of Technology with a specialization in Medical Informatics in 2015. After his studies, he did his PhD in the OPTIMA research group, working in the interdisciplinary fileds of retinal imaging, Medical Image Analysis and Artificial Intelligence. After completing his doctorate, he was head of IT systems at the Vienna Reading Center (VRC) from 2019 to 2022, simultaneously working as a postdoc at Department of Ophthalmology at the Medical University of Vienna. He is is currently a postdoctoral research scientist in the CIR lab at the Medical University of Vienna.
He is also a member of the European Radiology Scientific Editorial Board and has a strong record in deep learning and medical image analysis, particularly in anomaly detection to disentangle healthy from abnormal variability, domain adaptation, representation learning and patient outcome prediction. Besides research, he has also been chairman of a local football club in Vienna for more than 10 years.
