Profile

Prof. Dr.-Ing. habil Marcin Grzegorzek is head of the AI for Assistive Health Technologies research department at the DFKI laboratory in Lübeck. He has been Professor of Medical Informatics at the University of Lübeck since 2018, where he heads the Medical Data Science working group.

Marcin Grzegorzek studied computer science at the Silesian University of Technology in Gliwice (diploma) and at the Friedrich-Alexander University Erlangen-Nuremberg, where he completed his doctorate in 2007 with a thesis on pattern recognition. Before coming to Lübeck, he was a junior professor at the University of Siegen, a research assistant at the University of Koblenz-Landau and a research assistant at Queen Mary University of London.

His methodological research focuses on learning-based and explainable methods of pattern recognition for the evaluation of heterogeneous, personal data, including sensor signals and images. The results are applicable, for example, to personalized nutrition, diagnostic movement analysis, pain monitoring and sleep analysis. His research activities include initiating and coordinating the interdisciplinary and intersectoral BMBF research network CogAge (Cognitive Village: Adaptive-learning technical everyday companions in old age). He also heads the ERDF-funded KIBA research laboratory at the Lübeck campus for holistic movement analysis and therapy optimization with a focus on walking based on AI-supported rehabilitation robotics.

Marcin Grzegorzek is the founder and shareholder of expandAI GmbH, a software company in the field of machine learning, and a member of the scientific advisory board of Perfood GmbH, a provider of AI-supported individual nutrition programs. He also works very closely with Future-Shape GmbH, which offers the SensFloor intelligent sensor floor for equipping care facilities, among other things.
