ECDF Lecture Series: Medical Data Science

Prof. Dr. Felix Balzer (ECDF/Charité) will give a lecture on "Medical Data Science" on January 27, 2021 as part of the "Digital Future" Lecture Series. Start is at 4 pm. The lecture series will take place online via zoom and is open to all students and the interested public (registration link see below). It is organized by ECDF Professor Florian Tschorsch.

The lecture series "Digital Future" covers different aspects of the digital transformation and aims at conveying a basic understanding of the topic. On a weekly basis, select speakers will present subjects from their research area, covering different facets of digitalization as well as different scientific disciplines. As such, the lecture series underlines the far-reaching significance of the digital transformation.

As in previous years, the lecture series puts an emphasis on a data-driven digital transformation. This year, professors from the Einstein Center Digital Future (ECDF) will staff the program and offer a sneak peek of their research. The lecture series explicitly addresses all students and the public. It thus contributes to an interdisciplinary education at TU Berlin and beyond. Students will acquire an overview of methods and applications in the area of data-driven digital transformation. This is the first step to become "data literate."

The lecture series has a strong interdisciplinary focus and is thus open to all students. It may be especially beneficial to Bachelor students.
