01 — About

Two worlds, one vision.

Originally from Sydney, Australia, Sarah moved to Germany in 2014 to study medicine. Since completing her medical degree and obtaining a German medical licence in late 2021, she has worked across clinical practice, medical education, and research.

Driven by a strong interest in artificial intelligence and a commitment to lifelong learning, she pursued a Master of Science in Applied Artificial Intelligence alongside clinical work. Her current research applies computer vision to enhance the clinical utility of echocardiography in paediatric cardiology — focusing on patent ductus arteriosus, pulmonary hypertension, and aortic stenosis.

With her master's degree nearing completion, she plans to return her primary focus to clinical work, completing paediatric specialty training while remaining actively involved in research.
