I am a chronic pain researcher from Germany, where I did my PhD in neurophysiology at the University of Heidelberg. After six years at Imperial College in London,UK, I have joined the University of Exeter, UK, as a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in October 2023.
My background is in data science and statistics, and I collaborate with clinicians across the UK and Europe to analyze multifaceted datasets searching for predictorsof developing chronic pain (for example after surgery) and predicting response to treatment to enable personalized pain medicine. I use a wide array of methods -sensory phenotyping, patient-reported outcomes, -omics – and machine learning to identify mechanistic subgroups.
