Priv.-Doz. Dr. Dr. Jan Egger has over 10 years of experience in developing algorithms in medical image analysis and computer vision, including 5 years of postdoctoral research and development in the healthcare industry. He has extensive experience in implementing algorithms and software in the field of surgical planning, and published over 100 peer-reviewed papers and several patents. Dr. Egger holds a PhD and a German Habilitation in Computer Science, and an interdisciplinary PhD in Human Biology. The interdisciplinary PhD was obtained when working in the Neurosurgery Department of the University Hospital in Marburg, Germany, where he developed several algorithms for brain tumors, aneurysms and deep brain stimulation, which can be used within the Operation Microscope, e.g. from BrainLab. His main research interests are Translational Science in Medical Image Analysis and Image-Guided Therapy and he won several awards for his theses and publications. Furthermore, he is the principle investigator of Studierfenster (www.studierfenster.at) a cloud platform for medical image processing. Dr. Egger has currently a dual appointment at the Graz University of Technology and at the Medical University of Graz..
