Short CV
Roxane Licandro graduated the master study of medical informatics at the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien) with distinction in January 2016. She worked eight years as assistant of the creative director at the Kunsthistorisches Museum Wien and subsequently continued her working experiences as software developer at AGFA Healthcare. During her studies at TU Wien she was employed as study assistant and teaching assistant at the Pattern Recognition and Image Processing (PRIP) Group, and as teaching assistant at the Institute of Computer Graphics and Algorithms and at the Computer Vision Lab (CVL) at TU Wien.  She graduated her PhD study at TU Wien in cooperation with the Computational Imaging Research (CIR) Lab at the Medical University of Vienna in March 2021 and has worked as an university assistant at CVL until October 2021. She is currently a postdoctoral research fellow at the Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston, US and the Laboratory for Computational Neuroimaging and a postdoctoral research associate at CIR Lab in Vienna.

Research Interests
