Jonas Emrich

PhD Researcher in Machine Learning & Signal Processing

I am a PhD student in Machine Learning & Signal Processing, working on signal reconstruction for fetal Magnetocardiography with the Technical University of Munich (TUM) and the German Heart Center Munich.

My specialization lies at the intersection of Signal Processing and Machine Learning / AI, covering a wide range of methods from model-based to data-driven approaches to solve various (interdisciplinary) problems. I am passionate about leveraging research and entrepreneurship to address real-world challenges and drive meaningful impact.

I received my Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Electrical Engineering & Information Technology from the Technical University of Darmstadt (TUDa). During my studies, I worked as a research intern at BMW, where I contributed to research on generative AI for 3D object synthesis. Moreover, I was part of the Robust Data Science Group as a student research assistant, developing novel methods for biomarker extraction in medical data. As a graduate exchange student, I spent time at the Aalto University in Finland. Throughout my studies, I worked for several years as a teaching assistant for several courses and participated actively in the student council as an elected member.

Furthermore, I was honored as a scholarship holder of the Studienstiftung des Deutschen Volkes and Thomas Weiland Foundation which supports young scientists with outstanding academic talent, and was twice supported by the Deutschlandstipendium. My master’s thesis was awarded by the VDI Preis and I received the Best Student Award for my bachelor’s graduation.

Projects

Wild Bootstrap Tests
2023/24·seminar project
The classical bootstrap approach encounters challenges when the i.i.d. assumption is not fulfilled. In applications like defect detection in surface inspection, where the data is not identically distributed, and the noise distribution may depend on observational data, the Wild Bootstrap arises as a possible solution. In this seminarproject, we present the fundamental principles of the wild bootstrap and explain its procedure, illustrated by the application of (wild) bootstrap testing. The wild bootstrap test will be evaluated on simulated data and in the context of surface inspection by using real images.
Finalist Engineering Competition
2023·Hackathon·Rohde & Schwarz Engineering Competition
As a team of four students, we qualified for the finals in Munich by optimizing real-time spectrum analysis through the implementation of highly efficient algorithms on hardware simulators, including vector hardware & stream pipeline, using C++.
Mitosis Detection in Breast Cancer Histology Images using Deep Cascaded CNN
2022·course project
In this project, a deep learning-based approach for mitosis detection in breast cancer histology images was examined. The approach consists of two stages. In the first stage, a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) is utilized to detect mitosis candidates in the input image. In the second stage, a deep cascaded CNN discriminates between mitosis and non-mitosis. Transfer learning was employed to train both models due to the limited availability of large datasets.

Notenkurve.de
since 2016·Website / Webapplication
Notenkurve was originally developed as a web application in which students can enter their school grades and then get a visualization of their performance using a curve and further statistics.
However, the original web application is not being further developed and was taken offline due to concerns regarding the GDPR (DSGVO). Currently, several converters for students, such as the Punkte-in-Noten-Umrechner, are among the website’s most popular services, used by around 1 million people a year.
