University Hospital Zurich
Sylwia Nowakowska earned her Ph.D. in Nanoscience from the Physics Department at the University of Basel, where she conducted research on materials for molecular electronics and quantum computing. Afterwards, she transitioned into the industry, focusing her work at a start-up Avantama on quantum materials for high-tech applications.
Fascinated by the applications of Machine Learning and Deep Learning in healthcare, she made the decision to redirect her career in that direction. She joined a start-up Obviotec, where she was responsible for the scientific development of quality systems for detecting substandard and falsified medications using terahertz spectroscopy and imaging, combined with AI.
Currently, Sylwia works at the Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology Department at the University Hospital Zurich. In this role, she engages in applied research in AI for breast imaging, with a primary focus on mammography and MRI.
