CV
Dr. Sandy Engelhardt, studied her Bachelors and Masters in Computational Visualistics at University of Koblenz-Landau. During her studies, she was stipendiary of the “Studienstiftung des deutschen Volkes” and spent a semester abroad at University of Cape Town (UCT), South Africa. During her stay, she worked at the Brain Imaging Center at Tygerberg Hospital and did anatomy courses in dissections at the renowned medical faculty of UCT. In 2012 to 2016 she did her PhD at the “German Cancer Research Center” (DKFZ) in Heidelberg in the division of “Medical and Biological Informatics”. Her work mainly addresses topics of computer-assisted mitral valve surgery, thereby combining and integrating methods and technologies from the field of image segmentation, augmented reality and tracking systems. During her PhD, she was part of the Collaborative Research Center SFB/TRR 125 “Cognition-guided surgery” and worked together with cardiac surgeons, mathematicians and other computer scientist from the University of Heidelberg and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in a highly interdisciplinary environment. The collaboratively developed assistance system for reconstructive mitral valve surgery was awarded, amongst others, with the runner-up “EACTS Techno-College Innovation Award” from the “European Association for Cardiothoracic Surgery”. Recently, her dissertation with the title “Computer-assisted Quantitative Mitral Valve Surgery” was granted the BVM-Award 2017 for the best dissertation by the German Medical Imaging Community. Dr. Sandy Engelhardt is currently postdoctoral researcher both at DKFZ and the Computer Science Faculty at University of Applied Sciences, Mannheim.
