Prof. Dr. Bjoern Menze

Professor Menze is working in the field of medical image computing. He develops algorithms that analyze biomedical images using functional and probabilistic models from machine learning, computer vision, and biophysics. The emphasis of this work is on applications in clinical neuroimaging and the personalized modeling of tumor growth. He has organized workshops on medical computer vision and on neuroimaging at MICCAI, NIPS and CVPR, served as a member of the program committee of MICCAI and is a member of the editorial board of the Medical Image Analysis journal.
Professor Menze studied physics in Heidelberg (Germany) and Uppsala (Sweden) and obtained a PhD in computer science from Heidelberg University in 2007. He subsequently moved to Boston (USA) where he worked as a postdoctoral researcher at Harvard University, Harvard Medical School, and MIT. This was followed by senior research position at Inria in Sophia-Antipolis (France) and at ETH Zurich (Switzerland). In 2013 he was the first scholar to have been appointed a Rudolf Moessbauer Professor at TUM. In 2019 he was visiting professor at Maastricht University. At TUM he heads the "Image-based Biomedical Modeling Group" at the Munich School of Bioengineering and the Center for Translational Cancer Research.
