Hi! I am Favian Alexander Hatje!

I am a radiologist with a passion for science and technology. I have many interests, but I am particularly drawn to the field of artificial intelligence. I am based in Berlin, Germany, where I work for Ihre-Radiologen.

My journey began in Hamburg, where I studied medicine, complemented by one year of full-time work in a physiology lab. There, my colleagues and I developed a method for extracting large quantities of glomerular cells from mice, which resulted in a publication in the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN), a renowned journal in the field of nephrology.

I then made my way to Berlin, where I began my career as a radiologist. By day, I am busy reading CT and MRI studies, at night I enjoy exploring the limitless possibilities and incredible developments of artificial intelligence. Through continued self-study through courses like fast.ai and Deep Learning for Medicine on Coursera, I have deepened my understanding of this exciting field, and I regularly participate in Kaggle competitions to hone my skills.

If you wish to connect, feel free to reach out on Twitter or via email at favian.hatje@outlook.com. Otherwise I invite you to have a look at my blog, where I share notebooks documenting what I do and learn.
