Ario Sadafi

I am currently a Ph.D. student at the Institute of AI for Health in Helmholtz Munich focusing on computer-aided diagnosis approaches for severe blood diseases under the supervison of Carsten Marr and Nassir Navab. I am also affiliated with the chair of Computer Aided Medical Procedures at the Technical University of Munich.

Before this, I was a Marie Curie early-stage researcher in Relevance consortium at arivis AG. I received my master's degree in computer engineering from Politecnico di Torino and my bachelor's degree from Sheikhbahaee University.
