Andreas Maier PhD

Prof. Dr. Andreas Maier was born on 26th of November 1980 in Erlangen. He studied Computer Science, graduated in 2005, and received his PhD in 2009. From 2005 to 2009, he was working at the Pattern Recognition Lab at the Computer Science Department of the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg. His major research subject was medical signal processing in speech data. In this period, he developed the first online speech intelligibility assessment tool – PEAKS – that has been used to analyze over 4.000 patient and control subjects so far.

From 2009 to 2010, he started working on flat-panel C-arm CT as a post-doctoral fellow at the Radiological Sciences Laboratory in the Department of Radiology at Stanford University. From 2011 to 2012, he joined Siemens Healthcare as an innovation project manager and was responsible for reconstruction topics in the Angiography and X-ray business unit.

In 2012, he returned to the University of Erlangen-Nuremberg as head of the Medical Reconstruction Group at the Pattern Recognition lab. In 2015, he became a professor and head of the Pattern Recognition Lab. Since 2016, he has been a member of the steering committee of the European Time Machine Consortium. In 2018, he was awarded an ERC Synergy Grant “4D nanoscope”.  Current research interests focus on medical imaging, image and audio processing, digital humanities, and interpretable machine learning, and the use of known operators.
