Harnessing Multimodal Learning Signals to Advance Ophthalmological Imaging
Chair of Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare and Medicine

Academic Career and Research Areas

Dr. Menten specializes in machine learning for medical imaging. His research focuses on weakly and self-supervised learning to address data scarcity in healthcare and the integration of multimodal clinical data with medical images. He is particularly interested in the development and application of machine learning and computer vision algorithms in the field of ophthalmology.
He studied physics at the University of Heidelberg from 2008 to 2014. Subsequently, he earned his PhD from the Institute of Cancer Research in London, where he developed automated strategies to adapt external beam radiotherapy for cancer to anatomical changes. After completing his doctoral studies in 2019, he transitioned to computer science by joining the Biomedical Image Analysis group at Imperial College London. In 2021, he moved to the Technical University of Munich, where he established his own independent research group in 2024.
