Dr. Maros is a board-certified attending radiologist the Department of Neuroradiology. He holds a PhD in digital molecular pathology and a master’s degree in bioinformatics/statistics. He is the head of the Junior Research Group MIDorAI of the MIRACUM Consortium of the German Medical Informatics Initiative (MII) focusing on the development of “Disease models and multimodal synthetic data generation for personalized and preventive medicine” at the Department of Biomedical Informatics (DBMI), Medical Faculty Mannheim (Dr. Fabian Siegel & Prof. Dr. Michael Neumaier).
He is the co-founder and machine learning specialist of our research group (Applied Medical Image & Data Analysis; AMIDL; neurorad.xyz) at the Department of Neuroradiology.
He is interested in tackling everyday challenges that neuro/radiologists face using the power of underlying patterns and math thus improving the quality of care benefitting our patients and community.

National and international joint research projects
Medical Informatics for Holistic Disease Models in Personalized and Preventive Medicine (MIDorAI)
Junior Research Group - MIRACUM Consortium
Duration: 2022–2027, Funding: BMBF.
WEather-based STroke event and Outcome Risk Modeling (WE-STORM)
Duration: 2021–2025, Funding: MIDorAI, MII, BMBF.
Dr. Maros is the PI of the ongoing WE-STORM German Research Data Portal for Health (FDPG) research project, which is performed as part of the Medical Informatics Initiative (MII). The aim of WE-STORM is to validate classical statistical and machine learning models for real-time forecasting to predict the number of stroke admissions based on meteorological patterns.
GeMTeX (German Medical Text Corpus) - Automated indexing of medical texts for research
Duration: 2024–2026, Funding: MII-NUM, BMBF.
The full potential of clinical documents cannot be realised due to a lack of standardisation. The GeMTeX methodology platform aims to fill this gap and make medical texts from patient care available for research projects. The goal is to create the largest medical text corpus in the German language.
We participate as external non-funded partners for text corpus generation.
The Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS-METS) Challenge 2023: Brain Metastasis Segmentation on Pre-treatment MRI led by the Yale University School of Medicine.
Duration: 2023–2024, Funding: MIDorAI, MII, BMBF.
Federated Learning for Postoperative Segmentation of Treated glioblastoma (FL-PoST) spearheaded by Duke and Indiana Universities.
Duration: 2024, Funding: MIDorAI, MII, BMBF.
