Andrew Rashbass
Joined with us in 2023Andrew Rashbass is the former CEO of The Economist Group, Reuters and Euromoney Institutional Investor PLC, and now works closely with Mihaela and the van der Schaar Lab on a range of initiatives.
Tim Schubert
Joined with us in 2023Tim Schubert studies medicine in the MD/PhD track at Heidelberg University.
He is fascinated by complex systems and efforts to understand them from an interdisciplinary perspective.
Within the realm of neurogenetics research at the Institute of Human Genetics, Tim focuses on unraveling the complexities of rare neurodevelopmental disorders. His work sheds light on how genetic changes impact human cognition and behaviour, with a particular focus on the prosocial peptide oxytocin.
Moreover, Tim is excited about harnessing the power of cutting-edge machine learning methods for solving medical challenges. He believes that finding common vocabulary is one of the keys towards bridging healthcare and AI. Tim works with the van der Schaar Lab on numerous initiatives, with a particular interest in quantitative epistemology, early diagnosis and synthetic data.
Outside the lab, Tim channels his creativity into producing an educational podcast for medical students. Besides his academic endeavours, he finds immense joy in cooking up elaborate dinners with friends, gliding across (and sometimes falling into) rivers on rowing boats, exploring new horizons through travel, and composing some musical hiccups on his piano.
Tim is supported by a scholarship of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation (Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes).
Tim Oosterlinck
Joined with us in 2023Tim Oosterlinck, nearing the completion of his Master’s in Medicine at KU Leuven, has always been intrigued by technology, a spark ignited during his childhood by watching his father build computers. He’s keen on melding the worlds of medicine and technology to find innovative solutions to address current and future healthcare challenges.
This curiosity led him to delve into AI-driven medicine, starting with a bachelor paper on machine learning for predicting hepatic arterial thrombosis post-liver transplantation. His admittance into the Honours program at KU Leuven further propelled his research endeavours.
At KU Leuven, Tim’s current projects revolve around the integration of Augmented Reality in surgical procedures, with an emphasis on perioperative navigation, 3D printing, and AR software development. He’s also a member of the Surgical AI Research Team at Orsi Academy, an institution specializing in robotic surgery training. There, he’s working on advanced computer vision methodologies to refine the surgical operations, and elevating surgeon training by providing objective metrics to evaluate their proficiency.
At the van der Schaar Lab, Tim is currently focused on ML-powered risk prediction models, working with Large Language Models and challenging existing healthcare paradigms.
Outside academia, he enjoys spending time with friends, long-distance running, surfing, snowboarding, and skiing.
