Background and Position
Abtahi Ishmam studied Electrical, Electronic and Communication Engineering at the Military Institute of Science and Technology (MIST), Dhaka, Bangladesh, graduating with a Bachelor of Science degree in 2021. He then completed a Master of Science in Biomedical Engineering at Hochschule Anhalt (Köthen, Germany) in 2025, specializing in the application of machine learning and advanced processing techniques to biomedical signals and images. During his master’s studies, he worked as a working student in the New Product Introduction team at World of Medicine GmbH (Novanta Group, Berlin), focusing on CO₂ insufflator systems. His responsibilities included risk gap analysis, product feasibility, and cost-performance optimization. Afterwards, he joined Hochschule Anhalt as a Projektmitarbeiter, contributing to research on gastric cancer detection from hyperspectral images and supporting teaching in courses related to machine learning and advanced programming. Since October 2025, Abtahi Ishmam has been a Wissenschaftlicher Mitarbeiter at the Innovation Center Computer Assisted Surgery (ICCAS), University of Leipzig, where he works on the integration of machine learning techniques into multimodal imaging systems for minimal and non-invasive surgical assistance.
