Jan has over 20 years of experience in developing algorithms for AI in Healthcare and AI-guided Therapies with a focus on Medical Image Analysis (Image-guided Therapies). This includes five years of postdoctoral research and development in the healthcare industry. Until now, he has published over 200 peer-reviewed papers, edited several books and won multiple awards for his theses and publications. Furthermore, he won several challenges with his team, including four first places at MICCAI/ISBI challenges. He is also the PI of the open science client/server-based medical platform StudierFenster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Studierfenster, currently offline) and MedShapeNet (https://medshapenet.ikim.nrw). During his career, he supervised and co-supervised around 100 student theses and projects, and was involved in the acquisition of over 16 million euros in third party funding. Among others, he reviewed grant proposals for the DFG (Germany), NWO (Netherlands), SNSF (Switzerland), HRZZ (Croatia), MOST (Israel), NCN (Poland), ERC (EU), OeAD (Austria), Health Bureau (Hong Kong). He is a Professor and holds a Ph.D. and a (German) Habilitation in Computer Science, and an interdisciplinary Ph.D. in Human Biology. Currently, Jan has a dual appointment at the Institute for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine (IKIM) at the Essen University Hospital (UKE) in Germany and the Institute of Computer Graphics and Vision (ICG) of the Graz University of Technology (TU Graz) in Austria, and he is a Privatdozent for AI in Medicine. He is also affiliated with the new Faculty of Computer Science at the University of Duisburg-Essen (UDE).
