The Hertha Firnberg Fellowship was established by the FWF to support highly qualified young female researchers in their university careers. In 2021, the grant was awarded to Anna Breger, who is now starting her research work as a postdoc at MedUni Vienna as part of this programme.
With her research project "Image based Data Evaluation Analyses and Medical Application", she and her new colleagues at the Center for Medical Physics and Biomedical Engineering aim to improve the generalisation of automated quality assessment of digital image data. Image quality assessment is indispensable for testing, improving and monitoring preceding methods and to ensure a certain quality for subsequent use.
