Lukas Brausch is a PhD candidate at the Fraunhofer Institute for Biomedical Engineering (IBMT) in Sulzbach/Saar, Germany in cooperation with the technical university of Kaiserslautern, Germany. He earned his bachelor's degree in computer science in 2014 and his master's degree in visual computing in 2016 from the University of Saarland, Germany. His main research interests shifted from web-based real-time renderings of molecular simulations toultrasound shear wave elastrography simulations. During the course of his PhD studies, he worked on the application of a variety of machine learning methods for the classification of one-dimensional ultrasound radio-frequency signals. In this field, he currently mainly focuses on the classification of muscle contraction and muscle fatigues states, the detection of epiphyseal growth plate fusion and the identification of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in patients with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.
