About

The aim of the recently activated IEEE EMB Student Chapter Munich is to provide the students a community of peers, and a connection to faculty and industry professionals who drive innovation in the field of Engineering in Medicine and Biology (EMB). We organize once per month a one-hour online Guest Lecture of an interesting topic related to MedTech.

Executive Committee

María Begoña Rojas López

Chairwoman

I am a PhD Student in the Chair of Biological Imaging (TU Munich) in collaboration with Helmholtz Zentrum Munich.

I am an passionate engineer about any electronic, mechanical and physical device applied in the medical field.

Specifically, I am interested in medical imaging and the analysis of such data making use of new technologies such as deep learning and artificial intelligence. I am currently working on Optoacoustics, a new technology with a high potential that can revolutionize the biological imaging techniques.

One of my mottoes in life is "never stop learning" and thanks to our chapter I have the opportunity to broaden my knowledge on very interesting topics related to bioengineering which are different from my research field.

John LaMaster

Vice-Chair

I am John, a PhD candidate in the Munich School of Bioengineering at the Technical University of Munich. I am a biomedical engineer with a very interdisciplinary background. Currently, I focus on developing and tailoring deep learning techniques for magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) processing and analysis, with a particular emphasis on brain tumors. This modality has the potential to characterize tumors in a safe, non-invasive manner. The goal of this research is to help make MRS a more mainstream tool in the diagnostic clinical workflow.

Bojan Sandurkov

Treasurer

I am Bojan, a PhD student at the Munich School of Bioengineering in a small research group studying and applying magnetic fields. We develop and build transcranial magnetic stimulators that potentially fight a number of scary diseases such as Parkinson's, depression and multiple sclerosis. If you want to learn more about this exciting technology contact me anytime, I'm always up for a nice chat.

Leon Mayer

Secretary

I am Leon, a masters student in Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Munich. My specialization is Bio-/Neuroengineering and am primarily interested in biomedical signal processing and machine learning.
