Julia Schnabel

Prof. Dr. Julia Schnabel is the TUM Liesel Beckmann Distinguished Professor and Helmholtz Distinguished Professor at TUM's TUM School of Computation, Information and Technology. Her research focuses on computational imaging and AI in medicine, including medical image processing, machine learning, motion modeling, and quantitative imaging. She holds IEEE, Ellis, and MICCAI Society fellowships, and has pioneered work in image reconstruction, artifact correction, and AI-based diagnostics.

• Educations:
  • Bachelor/Master from TU Berlin (1993)
  • PhD from University College London (1998)
  • Postdocs at UMC Utrecht, King's College London, and UCL

Her research interests span medical AI, deep learning for medical imaging, and clinical evaluation methodologies. Key contributions include frameworks for motion artifact correction in MRI, physics-informed neural networks, and benchmark datasets like NOVA for anomaly detection in brain MRI. She has authored over 100 publications, with recent work advancing unsupervised anomaly detection and federated learning in healthcare.

Prof. Schnabel leads interdisciplinary projects at TUM and Helmholtz Zentrum München, focusing on AI-driven solutions for diagnostic and therapeutic challenges. Her labs develop tools for real-time cardiac imaging, histopathology segmentation, and trustworthy AI guidelines (FUTURE-AI initiative).
