I am a fourth year PhD student at the Center for medical Image Analysis and Navigation (CIAN) of the University of Basel. My work is supervised by Philippe Cattin and Florian Thieringer.
I'm interested in medical image analysis, implicit neural representations, 3D deep learning and generative modeling. My current research is part of the MIRACLE II project and focuses on conditional shape generation and manipulation tasks as well as (un)conditional 3D medical image generation. I'm particularly interested in different types of 3D data representations, including voxel grids, point clouds, meshes, triplanes, and implicit neural representations.
Our paper Beyond Uniformity: Regularizing Implicit Neural Representations Through a Lipschitz Lens has been accepted at ICLR 2026. We frame Lipschitz regularization as a budget allocation problem, investigating the performance of a diverse set of strategies on different inverse problems.
A new preprint Optimizing Rank for High-Fidelity Implicit Neural Representations is available on arXiv. We show that the low-frequency bias of vanilla MLP-based INRs stems from rank degradation during training rather than inherent architectural limitations, and that preserving high-rank updates, using optimizers such as MUON, consistently improves INR performance across network architectures.
