Our PhD student Joshua Steyer was recently interviewed on “Nachgefragt – Wissen, wie’s läuft”, the science podcast by the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology. In this episode, Joshua talks about how to model the heart, particularly at the microscale, as well as the current challenges in realising such realistic simulations.

Our new review article on artificial intelligence in cardiovascular medicine has been published. The paper outlines methodological foundations and highlights applications in imaging and ECG analysis, including deep learning for functional assessment and disease prediction. It also addresses generative AI, implementation challenges, and ethical considerations. The article is available in German.

As part of the event series "Junge Talente – Wissenschaft und Musik", Miriam Weiß and Simon Kreutzenberger will present their presentation “OCT: Dem Auge beim Untersuchen anderer Augen helfen” at KIT Campus Nord on February 5. The talk provides a brief introduction to optical coherence tomography (OCT) and its applications in medical imaging. It will be followed by a piano concert featuring students from the Hochschule für Musik Karlsruhe.
