Dr. Maros is a senior radiology resident just before his board certification exam at the Department of Neuroradiology. He is also involved in the MIRACUM Consortium Project in the framework of the BMWI Medical Informatics Initiative and affiliated with the Department of Biomedical Informatics, Medical Faculty Mannheim (Prof. Dr. T. Ganslandt). He is the co-founder and machine learning specialist of our research group (Applied Medical Image & Data Analysis; AMIDL; neurorad.xyz). He is interested in tackling everyday challenges that radiologists face using the power of underlying patterns and math thus improving the quality of care benefitting our patients and community.
