We are pleased to welcome Magdalena Fuchs as a doctoral student at CDHI, where her PhD research will focus on the personalized prediction and prevention of non-adherence to data collection protocols in digital biomarker studies, particularly in the context of metabolic health. To this end, she will continue the research of Robert Jakob. She will be supervised by Dr. Mia Jovanova, Prof. Dr. Tobias Kowatsch and Prof. Dr. Florian von Wangenheim.

Magdalena holds a Master’s degree in Computer Science from TU Graz and a Bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering. Throughout her academic journey, she has gained valuable industry experience in software development and software testing at Infineon and Siemens and held several teaching assistant positions at TU Graz. Her expertise in privacy preservation and personalization in machine learning developed both through her position as a researcher and data scientist at the Software Competence Center Hagenberg, as well as her Master’s thesis, will be an asset to her work at CDHI.
