Prof. Dr. Daniel Roth

Professorship

Machine Intelligence in Orthopedics

Academic Career and Research Areas

Daniel Roth's (*1985) research focuses on human-machine interfaces for medicine and health. Machine intelligence describes a holistic view of the way humans and machines communicate. A large part of his work deals with AI as well as virtual, mixed, and augmented reality-based technologies. Examples include assistance systems for surgical procedures, systems for the assessment and diagnosis of diseases and disorders, and (robot-assisted) rehabilitation.

In September 2023, Prof. Roth was appointed to the professorship for Machine Intelligence in Orthopedics at TUM and works at the School of Medicine and Health at the Klinikum rechts der Isar.Previously, he was Junior Professor for Human-Centered Computing and Extended Reality at the Department of Artificial Intelligence in Biomedical Engineering at FAU Erlangen-Nuremberg. He studied Media and Imaging Technology at the TH Cologne and subsequently completed his doctorate in computer science at the Julius-Maximilians-Universität Würzburg.
