Diploma Students

Maximlian Sohmen
Research assistant
Contact:
Email: maximilian.sohmen@i-med.ac.at
Short biography:
Max is an experimental physicist, biologist and mountain lover currently finishing his medical degree in Innsbruck. He passed his undergraduate studies in Berlin, Strasbourg, Heidelberg and Cambridge, with a focus on molecular genetics and experimental laser and atomic physics, respectively. He then prepared his doctoral thesis on supersolidity of dipolar quantum gases at the IQOQI and LFU Innsbruck. As a postdoc, he worked on digital holography and adaptive optics for multi-photon microscopy at the Medical University of Innsbruck. Right now, he is very enhusiastic about teaching computers how to interpret clinical ECGs.
